The Halton Region has received funding to help the neediest in the community.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) announced a funding partnership with the Canadian Medical Association Foundation (CMAF), to provide direct support to vulnerable populations struggling with the impacts of COVID-19.
With a $10 million donation from CMAF, eligible cities and communities will receive funding to identify and target urgent local responses to COVID-19 that improve the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.
The funding will empower municipalities across Canada to better reach, protect, and assist the most vulnerable, including those experiencing homelessness or grappling with mental health and substance use challenges.
Halton Region was one of almost 70 recipients across the country to receive this funding.
