Building or Repairing Emergency Shelters and Second-Stage Housing

Eligible sponsors may receive up to 100% of the project capital costs. Financial assistance is not available for ongoing operating costs.

Sponsors are eligible if they are a non-profit corporation, First Nation group, or charity whose objective is to operate housing for victims of family violence.

A project is eligible if it:

• is off-reserve;
• provides emergency shelter or second-stage housing for victims of family violence; and
• is below the minimum health and safety standards.

Important:

• Repairs completed before receiving written approval from Saskatchewan Housing Corporation do not qualify for assistance.
• Once approval is granted, the work must be completed within 12 months.

1. Call Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (1-866-245-5758) to ask about obtaining capital funding to build or repair an emergency shelter or second-stage housing.
2. If you are eligible for funding, prepare the documentation requested by Saskatchewan Housing Corporation staff.
3. Mail or deliver the documentation to:
   
   Saskatchewan Housing Corporation
   225 First Avenue North
   Saskatoon, SK  S7K 1X2
