Family & Community Support Services

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a partnership between the province, municipalities and Métis Settlements that develops locally driven preventive social initiatives to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.

Airdrie participates in FCSS through its Airdrie FCSS initiative by offering grants and providing supports to local eligible social preventive programs.    

Airdrie FCSS helps residents

Airdrie FCSS offers grants to local non-profit agencies who are eligible under the FCSS Act and Regulation. Preference will be given to not-for-profit organizations registered under the Societies Act whose services are of a preventive nature, and do one or more of the following:

• help people to develop independence, strengthen coping skills and become more resistant to crisis;
• help people to develop an awareness of social needs;
• help people to develop interpersonal and group skills which enhance constructive relationships among people;
• help people and communities to assume responsibility for decisions and actions which affect them;
• provide supports that help sustain people as active participants in the community.
