Community Development Halton (CDH) funding

It appears the Region will maintain a budget of $240,000 for Community Development Halton in 2012. One aspect of their work is researching and publishing reports on the state of poverty in Halton. The potential for budget cuts was reported in the Champion yesterday. One of those interviewed indicated that the work of CDH was essential to direct us to address the poor in Halton. I do not entirely agree as the formation of Home Suite Hope Milton has now proven. We did not wait for direction from the Region on homelessness in Milton, we saw it for ourselves and decided that we had a personal responsibility to act.

I love President Obama's comment about Steve jobs this week; that he was "brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it"
