The Canadian Institutes of Health Research has announced a call for proposals for a Planning Grant for Implementing Healthy Urban Policy. The maximum amount awarded for each grant is $0.065 million. The purpose of the grant is to design active transportation and public space interventions. In addition, the grant aims to design an evaluation of the health effect of these interventions.

Toronto Public Health with Transportation Services is seeking to apply for $0.065 million of this funding in 2020. Toronto Public Health will apply as the lead applicant and will coordinate the funding to be assigned to the activities within the grant proposal.

The grant opportunity is composed of two parts: a five-day workshop in a leading healthy city and a post-workshop planning and knowledge translation event. The post-workshop event in Toronto will be an invitational event to apply the findings from the first workshop and develop a set of specific intervention and evaluation of activities.

This work will advance the mandates of both Toronto Public Health and Transportation Services as well as key initiatives such as the Vision Zero 2.0 Plan and the Complete Streets Guidelines.

City Council at its meeting on January 29, 2020, adopted as amended, Executive Committee Item EX12.1, headed "Ravine Strategy Implementation".

The Human Services Integration project is a multi-year initiative focussed on improving the client experience for income support recipients by integrating and simplifying access to and delivery of the City's three main income support programs - social assistance (Ontario Works), Child Care Fee subsidies and Rent Geared to Income and other housing benefits.

The Human Services Integration unit will integrate services channels and realign current business processes across Divisions to provide an improved customer experience. Clients will be able to apply for, receive information on, and update their applications for all three income support programs in a single interaction.

To date the project has: developed and launched an integrated website and service and benefits finder tool; created a consolidated phone line which merged 67 individual numbers into one line for clients and residents to call; developed a knowledge base which supports staff in accessing up to date information across the three income support programs, and; launched a consolidated Application and Support Centre for the three income support programs which is supported by a new enterprise-wide Customer Relationship Management System which supports a single client profile.

A new service is required to support this initiative and to deliver the next phase of the Human Services Integration project. The new service will be created within Community and Social Services by transferring gross expenditures and revenues currently residing in the Operating Budgets of Toronto Employment and Social Services, Children's Services and Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to Social Development, Finance and Administration to support a new Human Services Integration Office Service.

The integration of Human Services supports the City's approved Poverty Reduction Strategy and 2019 - 2022 Action Plan, particularly by providing enhanced access to services. It also aligns with the City's goal of transforming the customer experience, modernizing systems and services, and creating more efficient ways of doing business.
