Community-Based Shelter and Housing Support

The Contract for Community-Based Shelter and Housing Support seeks to establish safe, culturally appropriate transitional housing for women upon their release from custody, with a strong focus on collaboration with Indigenous housing providers and local shelters. The work is to be carried out across Alberta and Saskatchewan, ensuring that services are responsive to the unique needs of Indigenous women and other vulnerable populations transitioning back into the community. The subcontract is issued by the Correctional Service of Canada under the NAICS code 624220, which relates to social assistance services, and requires proposals to be submitted by July 13, 2026, with the opportunity posted on June 25, 2026. The initiative emphasizes cultural safety, trauma-informed approaches, and community-led solutions to reduce recidivism and support long-term reintegration.
