What it does
Urban Programming for Indigenous Peoples supports front-line Indigenous Service Delivery Organizations that provide programs and services to urban Indigenous Canadians. It is comprised of four program streams: Organizational Capacity; Programs and Services; Coalitions; and Research and Innovation. The Organizational Capacity stream provides core funding to Indigenous organizations, including Friendship Centres that deliver programs and services to urban Indigenous peoples. The Programs and Services stream provides project funding to organizations for a range of programs and services that target six key areas: women, vulnerable populations (e.g. seniors), youth, transition services, outreach programs and community wellness. The Coalitions stream supports local coalitions that bring together stakeholders to identify local priorities, and ensure efficient delivery of programs and services. The Research and Innovation stream provides funding to better understand the urban Indigenous reality, gather information on best practices, methodologies and programming approaches, as well as pilot innovative programs and services. The Department is also working to improve horizontal liaison with federal departments that deliver urban Indigenous programming, through an interdepartmental working group. Through its targeted support, the Urban Programming for Indigenous Peoples will directly contribute to the improvement of the socio-economic opportunities for urban Indigenous Canadians.
