Grants and Contributions:
The specific objective of the contribution stream is to provide funding to eligible recipients to create or expand application support services for individuals with criminal records looking to apply for a record suspension. Currently the JHSP is only offering part-time programming for record suspension assistance. Additional funding will allow for the expansion of their services to a broader range of cliental and adjacent communities. JHSP has aligned its project goal with the Program, which is to assist marginalized and barriered individuals in successfully navigating the record suspension application process. JHSP proposes their project will add to the greater Ontario project which will provide the opportunity to disseminate knowledge and produce educational materials to not only other JHS organizations but other organizations in general. Ultimately, they propose this dissemination of information will lead to increased knowledge and understanding of how Canada’s federal corrections and criminal justice system rehabilitates and reintegrates individuals. JHSP has addressed fulfilling the following results and outcomes of the Program’s terms and conditions:
Immediate Outcomes:
· Shared knowledge and awareness leading to enhanced delivery of services, such as dissemination of information.
· Contribution recipients have the capacity to administer support services for pardon application assistance through program funding.
Intermediate Outcomes:
· Increased capacity of NVOs to fulfill their mandates.
· Contribution recipients implement support services for pardon application assistance through program funding.
Long-Term Outcomes:
· Individuals with criminal records are using supports provided by government-funded projects.
· Canada’s federal corrections and criminal justice system rehabilitates and reintegrates offenders.
Following a merger, the organization changed its name from JHS Peterborough to JHS of the Kawarthas. The purpose of this amendment is to extend the agreement date to March 31, 2027 and to increase the Public Safety Canada funding amount from $1,083,056.00 to $1,191,546.00.
The Grants and Contributions Program to Voluntary Organizations (GCP VO) supports the development of public safety policies and delivery of services by providing funding to voluntary organizations to maintain a national structure and cover core operating expenses.
