In 2023, Council approved the final draft of the Social Needs Assessment Report. The recommendations provided will help guide FCSS programming.
The purpose of this project was to determine the preventative social needs of the residents of the County and the level to which their needs are presently being met. The team from Moorehouse & Associations Consulting Inc. conducted in-depth interviews, hosted a working session with key agencies and community organizations and resident surveys for both adults and youth. The recommendations from the report will be reviewed by Council during Strategic Planning.
The Community Grant Program provides funding to local organizations that offer programs which are intended to promote and develop a safe and healthy community through preventative measures.
