Back to SearchA program tailored to help those on the verge of homelessness in our region has been launched by the City of Cornwall.
The THRIVE program - Temporary Relief for Individuals in Housing Emergencies - has been launched to help those in need with securing and retaining long-term housing by providing financial support for rental and utility arrears, upfront heating costs, first and last month's rent, medical expenses, and other exceptional circumstances.
The City of Cornwall is the delivery agent for human/social services in SDG Counties.
To qualify, applicants must meet specific income limits based on household size, complete an application, provide income verification, and pursue all other available income sources. Payments are made directly to vendors or landlords, and the program's availability depends on funding.
Completed applications may be sent to humanservices@cornwall.ca
Questions? Please call 613-933-6282 ext. 3305.
Applications to THRIVE will be accepted until March 31.
More about the THRIVE Program
Cornwall launched the THRIVE Program to support residents facing urgent housing challenges. This program has been in development for some time and was created to fill a critical gap in immediate housing assistance.
THRIVE emphasizes resilience and recovery, reinforcing the program’s goal of providing temporary relief while helping individuals and families navigate housing challenges.
By running this initiative directly, Cornwall can ensure it aligns with broader community priorities while offering adaptable, targeted support as directed by Cornwall City Council.
