About Families First Edmonton
We are a collaborative of 14 partner organizations representing government, research, funders and community agencies. We're exploring how to work together across systems and organizations to better deliver existing services to families with low incomes.
We came together to provide evidence-based research on four different ways of delivering services to families with low incomes to see if better family outcomes can be achieved.
We're examining if coordinated, targeted and proactive intervention leads to healthier, happier, more successful families and stronger communities.
We are seeking to determine the most cost-effective, efficient use of resources to proactively help families with low income, build families' ability to help themselves and improve the social and physical outcomes of children.
