About
The Ministry of Poverty Reduction, in partnership with SPARC BC, is supporting Métis Citizens with a history of homelessness by providing the essentials required to build a new future in their homes through the Welcome Home Kits Program.
Eligibility
The Welcome Home Kits Program can support:
- Individuals/families with lived experience of homelessness who are transitioning to stable housing from a precarious living situation
- Individuals/families who are fleeing abuse
- Individuals who are leaving institutional settings
- Youth transitioning out of care
What the Service Provides
Gift cards will be provided to approved applicants so that they can purchase the following household items for their Welcome Home Kits:

- Bedding and linens
- Cleaning supplies
- Groceries
- Items identified by the applicant, specific to their housing needs
