Adults' Services Program - vote 702
Through the Adults’ Services Program effective and accountable community-based services are directed to those most in need. Ontario’s Social Assistance programs provide financial and employment supports to eligible individuals who are in need, including people with disabilities, and their families. The Community and Developmental Services programs provide funding, based on available resources, for a range of services and supports for adults with a developmental disability and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities through community - based service providers, and direct funding through Passport and Special Services at Home. These programs promote greater social inclusion, independence and choice for adults with a developmental disability and their families by helping them live and participate in a wide range of activities in their communities. The Community and Developmental Services programs also fund community - based services and supports for women experiencing violence and their children, and individuals who are deaf, deafened, hard of hearing or deafblind. The Community and Development Services programs include the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy’s culturally appropriate programs that are designed and delivered by and for Aboriginal peoples to improve healing, health and wellness outcomes. The Custodian of Adoption Information provides adoption information disclosure services to adopted adults, adoptive parents, and birth families. The Family Responsibility Office works to improve the financial security of families by collecting and distributing child and spousal support payments pursuant to court orders and domestic contracts filed with the courts.
