| Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) | n/a | $34,000 | Jun 3, 2020 | To provide COVID-19 related supports to vulnerable populations. |
| COVID 19: Temporary Pandemic Pay (TPP) | MMAH | $837,000(approximate allocation, to be reconciled by September 30,2020) | Jun 12, 2020 | To provide pandemic pay increase of $4 / hour and lump sum payments ($250 / month) for eligible employers and employees for the period of Apr 24 to Aug 13, 2020. Specific guidelines issued for this program. The City of Windsor, as Service Manager, will have to determine eligibility and administer this program. The Housing department oversaw the implementation of TPP under the MMAH funding stream for 25 employers with over 300 employees, including eligible City staff |
Through these substantial funding contributions from upper levels of government, Administration has been able to meet the immediate needs of service providers that support some of our community’s most vulnerable populations and has begun to plan for longer-term housing solutions that will protect people from contracting COVID-19. However, no funding commitments have been made after March 31, 2021 and by all accounts, Canada will still be dealing with the pandemic after that time.
