Canada
In 2008, the Federal Government of Canada funded a five year demonstration program, the At Home/Chez Soi project, aimed at providing evidence about what services and systems best help people experiencing serious mental illness and homelessness. Launched in November 2009 and ending in March 2013, the At Home/Chez Soi project was actively addressing the housing need by offering Housing First programs to people with mental illness who are experiencing homelessness in five cities: Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montréal and Moncton. In total, At Home/Chez Soi has provided more than 1,000 Canadians with housing.

In Economic Action Plan 2013, the Federal Government of Canada renewed its Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) until 2019, with a focus on the Housing First model. Thus, organizations throughout the country, whether public or private, are eligible to receive subsidies to implement Housing First.
