FCSS lands funding to help the homeless

An organization in Leduc has received a great to help it investigate the root causes of homelessness in the area, and also to combat the issue in those it affects.

Leduc County Family and Community Services (FCSS) has received a federal grant of $119,500 through the Alberta Rural Development Network.

One area of concern that will be investigated is the problem of homelessness among those living in rural areas. There are many individuals who live in non-urban areas who do not have any stable place to call home. The FCSS will help those in that situation to obtain ID, a job, and also to address their mental and physical health issues, as well as obtaining permanent housing.

A second area that will be focused on will be the collection of accurate data on just how big this problem is. A dedicated staff member will collect information from those who apply for assistance through the FCSS programs. The organization will also partner with the local food bank, the villages of Warburg and Calmar, and also the Town of Devon.

Helping the homeless can be a daunting task, and Stationery printing firms can help by producing intake and data collection Forms that will make acquiring information about the issue much easier. The data collected can then be entered into a computer, where it can be analyzed and interpreted. This, in turn, can be used to help plan future programming.
