Our Mission ... We are a coalition of individuals, families, organizations, associations and agencies dedicated to ensuring that families in Ontario receive the meaningful support they require through 
the Special Services at Home Program and the Passport Funding Program.

*** Shocking Wait list .....according to the Auditors Report

9600 families waiting as of March 31, 2011!

NEW INFO- June 21st, 2011.................The government has informed us " the SSAH  program for adults will be merged with the Passport program as of April 1st, 2012". Current funding levels are committed until March 31, 2013. 
Therefore as of April 1st, 2012 your SSAH  funding becomes Passport funds.

It is essential that each family seek a funding commitment beyond that time.

We are working to update our web site since we are now expanding our mandate to include the Passport Program. 

We ask you to ask your MPP "What is MCSS doing to ADD $56 Million to support the 10,000 families who need SSAH and Passport funding  ? "

SSAHPC met with Minister M. Meilleur June 21, 2011

We stated it is most unfair to families that there has been NO NEW applications in Ontario for SSAH since 2007.

Every new approved application goes directly on a wait list.

Who We Are:

The SSAH /Passport Coalition (SSAHPC) was initially formed in 1990 by a dedicated group of individuals, families and agencies who joined together. We expanded our mandate to include the Passport Program in 2011.  We came together for strength and support because of growing concerns regarding the need to expand policy and funding for Special Services at Home program (SSAH)and the Passport program. In the early 90's , we believe our advocacy efforts encouraged the government to increase the SSAH funds.

 SSAHPC continues to dedicate our efforts to ensure our mission is achieved.

SSAH/Passport Coalition is a large and ever growing coalition of families, individuals, agencies, provincial organizations and family networks.

 We are very proud of the many groups that are members:
