Social and Community Investment Fund
The County of Simcoe provides a Social and Community Investment Fund to help local organizations develop community-based initiatives that address poverty and homelessness. The Social and Community Investment Fund was created using the historical funding streams of Social Assistance Restructuring Reinvestment Fund, Consolidated Homelessness Prevention Program, and Homelessness Partnership Fund.
It is recognized that a continuum of supports is an ideal approach for a combination of crisis intervention and preventative measures when addressing poverty and homelessness. The amount of funding available may change from year to year. A community-based allocations committee is used to help review and make project funding recommendations for County Council consideration.
Applications will be available July 1, 2012 and due August 31, 2012 for 2013 funding consideration. Agencies may apply for more than one funding stream.
