The Ontario government is providing funding to the Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board.
Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli says the Ontario government is providing just over $1.2 million dollars to the board to help deliver critical services, create longer-term housing solutions and keep vulnerable people safe.
He says the funding is part of the province’s additional $307 million investment to help municipalities and Indigenous community partners respond to COVID-19.
Fedeli adds municipalities and Indigenous community partners can use the funding to protect homeless shelter staff and residents, add to rent banks, build affordable housing, and support plans to prepare for potential future outbreaks and/or emergencies.
