Important Info:

Please read the following document that outlines the procedures for accessing Emergency Relief (now known as Assisted Referral).

Below is a PDF version of the slides titled "How can I get help?"

Before you seek assistance from us, you can fill out a well-being or circumstances survey that will provide us with an index that shows your current situation on a scale of 1 to 5. We use this to determine how our services make a difference in the community. Scan the QR code on your device or click the link to be taken to the survey.

WHAT IS THE ASSISTED REFERRAL PROGRAM?

During times of crisis or financial stress, members often find themselves having to decide between buying food or paying rent or paying bills. When this occurs, we offer a range of supports that can help to alleviate financial stress and take some of the pressure off.

​

Please read through the slides below for more information about how we may be able to assist you.
