Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program	Launched in 2017, the Smart Cities Challenge encourages communities of all sizes from across the country to take bold action to improve outcomes for their residents by applying a smart cities approach that leverages connected technologies and data. The Challenge model provides incentive to communities to adopt a multi–sectoral approach to problem solving. Communities are encouraged to engage their residents and submit proposals that include the private, public and research sectors as well as demonstrate real and measurable outcomes for residents. The process requires the full engagement of residents while requiring that communities mobilize themselves to overcome historic institutional barriers to innovation. In conjunction with the Challenge, the Smart Cities Community Support Program funds Evergreen, which delivers the Community Solutions Network with its partners – an initiative that provides smart city advisory and capacity-building services to communities of all sizes across the country.
Expected Results	The Smart Cities Challenge will deliver positive outcomes for communities in terms of improved economic opportunities, sustainability and inclusiveness. Selected projects are expected to advance a variety of community social, environmental and economic goals and improve communities' capacity to sustainably manage their infrastructure assets. The Smart Cities Community Support Program complements the Smart Cities Challenge by helping to increase innovation capacity in communities through the broader dissemination and replication of solutions that have been shown to work to other communities and through the creation of multi-stakeholder partnership and networks. The four winning communities of Competition One are implementing their smart cities projects. INFC officials are monitoring progress towards the successful completion of agreed-upon project outcomes and making adjustments with the winners when course corrections are necessary.

Link to the department's Program Inventory	Homelessness Funding Oversight
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program	Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy supports community-based responses to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. Communities and service providers receive grants and contributions funding to support services targeted to individuals and families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in urban centres, rural and remote communities and the territories. This includes targeted supports to address homelessness among Indigenous peoples. Reaching Home helps communities address local homelessness priorities using a more systems-based and data-driven approach. Communities must report publicly on community-wide outcomes. The program also collects and analyzes national homelessness data, and shares knowledge with communities, partners and stakeholders. Federally-funded projects, and federal leadership that fosters transformation of the sector, together promote the prevention and reduction of homelessness in Canada. The Government of Canada is one of many funding partners to help address homelessness, and performance indicators and expected results are impacted by multiple factors. The program is a transfer payment program with non-repayable grants and contributions; however, some repayment clauses are outlined in the Reaching Home Terms and Conditions.
Expected Results	Reaching Home will result in: Homeless individuals and families being placed in more stable housing; People at risk of homelessness receiving supports to help maintain housing; Improved housing stability for homeless individuals and those at risk of becoming homeless; and, Homelessness being prevented and reduced. Note: As the Government of Canada does not have sole jurisdiction over homelessness, this last expected result is considered a shared one with attribution distributed across a range of stakeholders, community service providers, and other orders of government.
