No increase in provincial FCSS  funding means ‘top up’ from local municipalities needed

No increase in provincial FCSS funding means ‘top up’ from local municipalities needed

Funding for Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) in Alberta will not increase this year, despite rising demand and inflation. The FCSS Association emphasizes that maintaining funding levels is insufficient to address growing needs. Local municipalities are stepping up to support FCSS programs, which are vital for community well-being and long-term cost reduction.
