The Hastings-Quinte social services committee is planning to apply for provincial funding to finance a number of homeless prevention programs.
Director of social services Steve Gatward says the emphasis is on providing relief for the rural areas, such as North Hastings.
He says one program is for transitional housing, another aimed at attracting landords.
There is also a rent supplement financing.
The committee is recommending Hastings County council apply for the funding.
