Pilot Program: Upto $3,000 to temporary visa holders trying to flee violence

Most of the funding will go towards a 12-month Red Cross pilot program that will provide temporary visa holders escaping violence with up to $3,000 to help cover accommodation, food, and medical care. In some cases it will also go towards referrals and short-term case work support.
