The Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP) is a provincially-funded program that supports Ontario’s 47 municipal service managers to provide affordable housing and support services for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The objective of the program is to support service managers in preventing, addressing and reducing homelessness, including chronic homelessness.

The two key program outcomes of HPP are:

• People experiencing homelessness obtain and retain housing
• People at risk of homelessness remain housed
