More support is on the way for Nova Scotians with disabilities and their families. The investment of more than 9 million dollars will support people in three programs. For people receiving Flex Individualized Funding, support will increase up to $1,000 per month based on a person’s needs. Direct Family Support for Children will increase by 20 per cent – up to $800 per month. The Alternative Family Support Program participants will see their monthly per diem rise by $600. The funding is an interim step as the province transitions to permanent, individualized funding for all people with disabilities, a key recommendation in the Nova Scotia Human Rights Remedy.
