Canada allocates $1.3M to fight veteran homelessness in New Brunswick cities, targeting housing and support services.

The federal government is allocating $1.3 million to combat veteran homelessness in New Brunswick’s major cities, with funds going to the New Brunswick Human Development Council to expand housing and support services. Veteran connectors will be established in Saint John, Fredericton, and Moncton to assist veterans with housing, income benefits, mental health, and addiction services. The program aims to improve access to resources and enhance data collection on veteran homelessness, aligning with Canada’s broader efforts to support veterans. Federal estimates indicate about 1,800 veterans were homeless in October 2025.
