Community Wellbeing Call for Proposal

The City of Lethbridge is launching the 2026 Community Wellbeing Call for Proposals (CFP) to invite applications for funding through the Government of Alberta’s Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) program, the Government of Canada’s Reaching Home (RH) program, and the City’s Diversion Outreach Team (DOT) program.

This CFP seeks proposals that align with the funding parameters and priorities of FCSS, RH (Designated Communities and Indigenous Homelessness streams), and DOT to advance community wellbeing by addressing the needs, gaps, and strategic priorities identified in the Community Wellbeing and Safety Strategy (CWSS), Municipal Housing Strategy (MHS), and the Needs Assessment and Priorities Update.

Eligible applicants include independent contractors, not-for-profit organizations, and for-profit organizations (if the activity is non-commercial and not intended for profit).

The CFP covers a two-year funding period:

• January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2028 for FCSS and DOT-funded projects.
• April 1, 2027 – March 31, 2029 for RH-funded projects.

Applicants are encouraged to review the 2026 Call for Proposals Application Guide for detailed information on timelines, eligibility, program alignment, and evaluation criteria.

We encourage applicants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the link below to explore project eligibility before submitting a full proposal. Only feedback related to eligibility will be provided, in accordance with the application timeline. No additional feedback will be offered.

Applicants are also encouraged to review the Recorded and PDF versions of our latest Information Session for community-related questions that may also be related to your proposal.
