United Way of Greater Toronto extends funding for our Jane Finch SNAP project
CDI's Jane Finch SNAP project provides intervention for girls and boys aged 13-15 in the Falstaff Jane-Finch neighbourhood of Toronto who have had or are at risk of having police contact. It is a community partnership with local agencies in the neighbourhood in which CDI staff facilitate the program while also training staff of these partner agencies so that they can continue to adapt and deliver SNAP approaches independently in their own programs. This project was launched 2 years ago through a grant from the United Way and now the United Way has moved to fund this project annually.
