Family & Community Support Services (FCSS) is a joint municipal-provincial funding program designed to establish, administer and operate preventive social services. FCSS emphasizes prevention, volunteerism and local autonomy. The program has been governed by the Family & Community Support Services Act and Regulation since 1966.
UPDATE: The Family and Community Support Services call for funding proposals will launch in early March 2024. Funding is available for established non-profit organizations to provide evidence-informed preventive social service programs and initiatives that promote and enhance well-being among individuals, families, and communities.
