We are pleased to announce that the Community Living Restructuring Fund has been granted  an additional $4 million from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.   These funds will once again be held in trust by the Victoria Foundation..  As you are likely aware, the original $20 million was exhausted earlier this year as a result of an overwhelming response to the fund.

 We will continue to serve individuals who meet eligibility criteria for Community Living services which will enable them to remain in their current residential setting or move to accommodation more suitable for their individual needs.  As the new funding is at a reduced level service providers in general will be excluded from the fund except where they meet the above criterion.

We will immediately reopen the application process for a limited time until the additional $4 million is exhausted.

Revisions will be made soon to the FAQ and other sections on this website to reflect the above changes.
