Emergency Shelter Program Framework

In March 2008, a new program framework was developed to better integrate the Emergency Shelter Program into the housing continuum, making it easier for people facing homelessness to move from emergency shelters into housing with supports. The Framework also outlines the outcomes and standards that funded shelters are required to achieve. To download the framework please click on Emergency Shelter Program Framework .

For additional information, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions for Shelter Operators , the Program Framework Fact Sheet and to assist in communicating the updates to your community partners, refer to Program Fact Sheet for External Stakeholders.
