Neighbourhood Action Grants
The Lyle S. Hallman foundation recently published the report: Neighbourhood Action Grants a pilot project evaluation. This project looked at some of the following questions: Do small grants make a difference, what supports are needed to make small grants successful, and how can challenges be addressed? The Lyle S. Hallman Foundation worked in collaboration with leaders, community organizations and residents of Waterloo Region to develop and evaluate the year-long pilot project and the Neighbourhood Action Grants report shares insights and information about the impact small grants can have on a community.
Special Needs Access Point
The Special Needs Access point (SNAP) is a single access point for children with special needs attending a licensed child care program in Waterloo Region. The SNAP Program is now housed at KW Habilitation, and referrals can be made from child care programs, parents, and community agencies. Once the referral is processed, a SNAP coordinator will connect the child with the most appropriate service to support their full participation in a child care program.
For more information, and to get referral forms, please visit the SNAP website.
