Income Assistance
Income Assistance can help you if you are not able to financially support yourself or your family. Depending on your situation, you may get money for your basic needs (like food, clothing and shelter) and sometimes for special needs.
Employment Support Services (ESS) provides programs for Employment Support and Income Assistance (ESIA) clients and their families to learn new skills, find jobs and move towards independence. Programs are run by government staff and local community organizations. ESS also provides programming for youth at risk, to prevent attachment to income assistance and to reduce poverty for future generations.
