Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his national plan to end homelessness within 10 years, allocating approximately $30 billion to combat homelessness as part of the 2026 Budget.

In a joint announcement with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Manitoba would receive more than $1 billion in federal support during the first phase of the plan.

Under the partnership, more than 2,000 supportive and transitional housing units will be built. A new centre will also be established in Winnipeg, combining mental health and addiction treatment services with housing support. The projects aim to deliver a total of up to 2,500 new housing units in Winnipeg.
