Red Deer council passes resolution urging more FCSS funding support
Councillors voted to push provincial and other partners for stronger financial backing of local family support programs.
Why it matters
FCSS programs support vulnerable families and community initiatives in Red Deer, so funding levels can directly affect access to local social services.
Red Deer city council passed a resolution at its regular meeting on Tuesday calling for advocacy to increase funding support for Family and Community Support Services, known as FCSS.
FCSS is a program that funds preventive social services in Red Deer, and the resolution directs the city to advocate for greater financial backing to sustain and expand these services.
Details on the specific funding targets or which levels of government the city plans to approach were not immediately outlined in the council discussion.
