Community Services
Alternative Family Care
Alternative Family Care will help prevent children from coming into the care of the province by providing financial assistance to extended family members and other caregivers to support the children’s needs. The goal is to keep a familiar connection until the children are able to be reunited with their parents.
Community Services Transformation
Community Services helps thousands of Nova Scotians in vulnerable situations every day. The time has come to transform and redesign our programs to ensure that they are as effective and efficient as they can be.
