The Ontario government will be helping the Salvation Army in Sudbury investigate a new service delivery model through funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC).
MPP Rick Bartolucci made the announcement at a news conference Wednesday on behalf of Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle.
“The Salvation Army in Sudbury has been a valuable fixture in the community since the early 1950s and every year provides basic services to hundreds of homeless people in the area,” said Bartolucci in a news release. “Our investment in this feasibility study will help develop the very best model to serve our community's most vulnerable citizens.”
The NOHFC will provide $28,500 to the Salvation Army Sudbury Centre to study new service delivery options for the area. The study will undertake a needs assessment to evaluate present services and identify best practices. This project will also look into options for renovating the agency's facilities at 146 Larch St. or building a new centre.
