Family and Community Support Services Calgary adopted a social sustainability framework to serve as a blueprint for its social planning, investment decisions and funding practices. Within this framework, FCSS identified two investment priorities for the next decade: strengthening neighbourhoods and increasing social inclusion.
The following research briefs are a series of research and best / promising practice summaries commissioned by FCSS Calgary. These briefs are meant to assist the funded organizations to provide high-quality, evidence-based, prevention programs contributing to specific outcomes that align with the social sustainability framework by strengthening neighbourhoods, and increasing social inclusion among vulnerable Calgarians.
