Thanks to funding made possible through the Robert Steane Fund to Alleviate Homelessness, the Saskatoon Community Foundation has announced that over $1 million will be put towards the homelessness problem in the city.

The 2025 funding will focus on three initiatives – $414,000 towards SaskNative Rentals; $454,000 towards Station 20-West System Navigation Hub and $200,000 towards City of Saskatoon Warm-up Shelter Support. Each initiative addresses a distinct and vital aspect of the complex challenges and system barriers that people experiencing homelessness face. The legacy fund, also known as “Be a Bob”, targets human services delivering outcomes that alleviate homelessness. The Robert Steane Fund has disbursed $2.9 million to address homelessness in Saskatoon since it began in 2021.
