In addition to the typical “business as usual” service contract renewals there are a few noteworthy ones.
Our agreement with the CRD to operate the recycling depot has now been officially renewed to 2019. The terms and payments have been kept the same as past years, with the exception of the elimination of a $ 10,000 annual capital grant used for equipment improvements.
Island Health reversed an earlier decision and will continue to contract with SSICS to manage the mental health rent supplements program. We were able to convince them that keeping this program integrated with the Housing First and BC Housing Rent Supplement program was a better option that having the local mental health rent supplements managed from Victoria.
