Age Well At Home Initiative – In-Home Support Pilot Project Stream

Backgrounder

In-Home Support Pilot Project stream

Under the In-Home Support Pilot Project stream of Age Well at Home, selected organizations with experience delivering volunteer-based services to low-income and otherwise vulnerable seniors receive funding to expand their services to more seniors or offer additional eligible services, as well as help seniors navigate and access eligible services provided by other local organizations. Eligible services:

  • light housekeeping (such as laundry, cleaning);
  • meal delivery and/or preparation;
  • home maintenance (such as repairs, yard work, lawn mowing);
  • transportation (such as to appointments, errands);
  • snow removal;
  • volunteer drop-offs (such as groceries, medication, pet supplies); and
  • friendly visiting in the home.

Objectives of the In-Home Support for Seniors stream of Age Well at Home:

  • expand delivery of volunteer-based eligible services to low-income and otherwise vulnerable seniors, primarily in the seniors’ homes to help them age at home, by offering additional eligible services and/or offering existing eligible services to more seniors; and
  • provide a service that helps low-income and otherwise vulnerable seniors navigate and gain access to eligible services provided by other organizations active in the local area.

Eligible organizations for the In-Home Support Pilot Project stream include:

  • not-for-profit organizations (including charities);
  • municipal governments;
  • educational institutions;
  • Indigenous entities (including band councils, tribal councils and self-government entities); and
  • health and social services institutions.

Provincially/territorially funded public institutions are eligible to receive funding, with the agreement of the provincial/territorial government.

Projects must take place within a local area (not on a national or provincial/territorial scale) and must end by March 31, 2025, with funding between $300,000 and $800,000 available per project.

A total of 71 In-Home Supports Pilot projects have been approved to date, representing up to $39.6 million. Work on implementing the Age Well at Home initiative in Quebec is ongoing.

Following an open call for proposals held in June 2022, the following organizations were selected to receive funding:
