Increase funding of existing agencies/ program/ services

There are many agencies/services in the Halton region that have a record of innovative and effective programming in relation to vulnerable youth. Additional funding would enable them to expand and spread their reach to all corners of Halton region. An increase in funding towards these established agencies would also allow them to properly resource and staff their pre-existing programs, which would result in an increase in both the
quality, and capacity of provided services. It is also suggested that increased funding be allocated for preventive programs.
