Community Advisory Boards
Across our province there are 10 Community Advisory Boards (CABs) made up of dedicated professionals working to address housing and homelessness in their communities.
CABs are structured in different ways. Some are incorporated entities with staff while others are part of a sponsoring organization, and some are volunteer committees. Each CAB is governed by a board of directors consisting of mainly frontline workers from various backgrounds, ensuring that everyone has a voice at the table.

Funders
Our Funders
“Homelessness is often the result of many contributing factors. Operating grants provided to eligible non-profit agencies by the Supportive Living Program are intended to prevent and end homelessness through a “Housing First” approach whereby individuals are housed, with minimal conditions, and provided individualized supports to foster long-term housing stability.”
The NLHHN receives funding yearly from Newfoundland Labrador Housing through the Supportive Living Program.
Funding Opportunities
The hardships people are facing today accessing and/or retaining safe, affordable and adequate housing is staggering. The Network strives to provide our front-line workers and organizations with training, resources, support and regional connection. Financial contributions will help contribute significantly to addressing the challenges with housing and homelessness.
