Mountain View County - Family & Community Support Services

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a partnership between municipal and provincial governments; established to develop, support and fund preventive social programming to enhance the well-being of individuals, families and communities.

Mountain View County accesses FCSS provincial funds to support eligible local agencies and contributes additional County funds to these organizations. We also administer the FCSS program directly, funding programs like Seniors Support Services and After School Care Programs to provide year-round community support.

The provincial FCSS Program Handbook and Family and Community Support Services Act are available on the Alberta Human Services website.
