Lignes directrices pour les organismes de services communautaires demandant un financement au FUAC par l’entremise de United Way Peterborough

 La COVID-19 est une priorité pour tous et affecte la façon dont nous soutenons ceux qui sont vulnérables dans nos communautés. Cette pandémie a entraîné une augmentation de la demande de services locaux, des pénuries d’approvisionnement et des perturbations dans les services.

Le Fonds d’urgence pour l’appui communautaire (FUAC) est un investissement de 350 millions de dollars octroyé par le gouvernement du Canada par l’entremise d’Emploi et Développement social Canada (EDSC) pour aider les populations vulnérables à gérer les effets de la COVID-19.

Le gouvernement du Canada a établi un partenariat avec Centraide United Way Canada, les Fondations communautaires du Canada et la Croix-Rouge canadienne afin de distribuer le FUAC dans l’ensemble du pays. Les Centraide United Way (CUW) travaillent localement pour soutenir les organismes de services communautaires afin de venir en aide aux populations vulnérables touchées par la pandémie de COVID-19.

Le présent document résume les lignes directrices à l’intention des organismes de services communautaires qui demandent un financement au FUAC par l’entremise de United Way Peterborough

Où les organismes de services communautaires doivent-ils demander un financement dans le cadre du FUAC?

Meaningful conversations are the first step toward meaningful change. This morning, our CEO, Jason Seguya, had the opportunity to meet with MP Harrison (@emmaaharrisonmp) to discuss some of the most pressing challenges facing our communities.

Part of the conversation focused on the recently published Financial Anxiety Index, a national research project undertaken by United Way Centraide Canada and conducted by Léger. The findings are clear: nearly half of Canadians say they could cover their basic expenses for only one month or less if their income were interrupted, and many report that their financial situation has worsened in recent months. The research also highlights that single parents, newcomers, and young people are among those experiencing the greatest financial strain.

Jason also had the opportunity to elaborate on United Way Peterborough & District’s role as the Community Entity for the Government of Canada’s Reaching Home program. For more than a decade, we have worked with local partners to administer federal homelessness funding, convene organizations across the sector, and support innovative, collaborative responses that help prevent and reduce homelessness in our community. Since 2020, more than $8 million in Reaching Home funding has been distributed locally to strengthen supports and services for those experiencing homelessness.

We appreciate the opportunity to share these insights and discuss the importance of coordinated community responses to poverty, housing insecurity, and homelessness. We look forward to continuing the conversation with MP Harrison in the months ahead as we work together to build a stronger, more connected community.

Every great leader has a story... and today, we`re excited to share the beginning of @_thetiffanyshow story as your 2026 United Way Campaign Chair.

As we launch our 85th Community Campaign, we`re turning the page to a new chapter - one rooted in connection, collaboration, and the incredible power of community. Tiffany has spent years shining a spotlight on the people, organizations and stories that make Peterborough & District such a special place to call home. Now, she`ll help lead a Campaign that celebrates what we can accomplish when we come together.

This grand reveal wouldn`t have been possible without the creativity and generosity of Johanna Hawkshaw and the incredible team @yourtvptbo who helped bring our vision to life. Thank you for embracing the fun and helping us tell this story in such a memorable way.

If UW Campaign Chairs came with a Netflix special, we`re pretty sure this would make the final cut 🎬🍿 ...

A special thank you as well to our 2025 Campaign Chair, Paul Rellinger, and our amazing staff for being great sports and helping kick off this exciting new chapter.

Here`s to 85 years of neighbours helping neighbours, and to everything we`ll accomplish together this campaign.

Welcome to the team, Tiffany! We can`t wait to see what we are able to accomplish together.
