The provincial government says it intends to spend up to $20 million more over the next three years on supports for the growing number of Saskatchewan residents who are homeless.

Social Services Minister Terry Jenson and Regina Mayor Chad Bachynski announced an increase in Provincial Approach To Homelessness (PATH) funding on Wednesday.

The PATH funding program was established in 2023 with $40.3 million.

Jenson said the money is still annualized, and depends on individual municipalities’ priorities and needs at the time of allocation.

“It’s about providing opportunities for individuals who find themselves in this situation to be able to connect with either an outreach worker or connect with one of our shelter operators or with different resources that are out there,” Jenson said.
