"WATERLOO REGION — House of Friendship will now oversee a regionally funded community outreach program that connects families with services and basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.
Waterloo Regional council approved on Wednesday a staff recommendation for House of Friendship to become the lead agency overseeing the program, delivered by 14 community-based agencies across the region at a cost of $1.021 million annually.
'The lead agency model increases consistency across the program and it increases customer service,' said Carolyn Schoenfeldt, director of employment and income support for Region of Waterloo."
