Applications Open for Building Vibrant Communities Grants
December 14, 2020 - 11:03 AM
Community groups that deliver, strengthen or expand programs that help Nova Scotians living on low incomes can now apply for a Building Vibrant Communities grant.
Programs may include those that address workforce attachment, housing, mental health and addictions, food security, youth transition to adulthood or transportation.
This year there will be a stronger focus on projects that:
address poverty-related challenges created or worsened by COVID-19
align with promising practices that are emerging through the Poverty Reduction Blueprint
“At the Department of Community Services, we’re working to prevent or interrupt the cycle of poverty so Nova Scotians can continue to build the kind of lives they want for decades to come,” said Kelly Regan, Minister of Community Services. “These grants allow organizations to design innovative approaches to reduce poverty and help families create better futures.”
