Family & Community Support Services Grant
Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a joint municipal/provincial partnership that funds preventive social service programs that enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.
Programs receiving FCSS funding must be registered non-profit organizations that have been incorporated for a minimum of 1 year.
The provincial Family and Community Services Act sets out the basic eligibility for program funding detailed in the FCSS Handbook.
The City, with the assistance of the Community Services Advisory Board (CSAB), identifies priorities for FCSS funding annually on the basis of current social planning and demographic information.
FCSS does not fund the following types of programs:
- Provide primarily for the recreation needs or leisure pursuits of individuals
- Offer direct financial assistance, including money, food, clothing or shelter to an individual, or family
- Are primarily rehabilitative
- Duplicate services ordinarily provided by a government or government agency
FCSS Funding and Application Form
The priority for 2013 is currently funded programs making a positive difference in our City.
The recent provincial budget announcement did not include an increase for the 2012/2013 FCSS program. As a result 2013 FCSS funding will remain at current levels at this time. Therefore, no new applications will be accepted and there will not be any increases to currently funded programs. Programs will be advised should this change in the future.
Deadline: August 29, 2013 at 4pm
