The federal and provincial government is providing $300,000 to support individuals experiencing homelessness in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Of the funds, $200,000 will be provided to the Nunatsiavut Government to support the creation of a “Housing Navigator” position at the Housing Hub to work with government and community partners to support individuals experiencing homelessness in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The two-year initiative will focus on improving coordination and integration of existing community supports at the shelter.

Additionally, $100,000 is being provided to the Labrador Friendship Centre.
