Pay raise approved for hostel care operators

in Prescott-Russell while the UCPR covers the remaining $800,000 needed through its own budget. Since January 2012 the UCPR has set a limit of 510 subsidized residents that it can help support through the CHPI agreements it has with 34 domiciliary hostels and retire- ment homes in Prescott-Russell. The old per diem rate for those facilities has been set at $47.75 since 2009. A social services department report to the counties council states that raising the per diem to $50 will not affect the other pro- grams the UCPR provides through its CHPI program.

erators of domiciliary hostels. The old rate of $47.75 per day per tenant will become $50 per day effective July 1. “We finally have some good news to com- municate to our members,” stated Nicole Normand, president of the Residence Asso- ciation of Prescott-Russell (RAPR) in a press release following the counties council June 26 vote on the per diem increase. “This in- crease was well overdue, even if it is much less than we would have liked. However, considering the difficult financial times faced by our provincial government, we certainly welcome this news and hope that further increases will be forthcoming in fu-

ture budgets to make up for the losses we have had to endure over the last four years.” Domiciliary hostels offer permanent housing and some personal support servic- es and care programs for low-income indi- viduals like seniors or those with physical or mental disabilities able to live on their own but who have just their pensions or other stipends to support themselves. The UCPR manages a domiciliary hos- tels program as part of its social services mandate for a Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI). The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing provides a $2.7 million subsidy for the CHPI program

L’ORIGNAL | Owner-operators of domi- ciliary hostels catering to seniors on pen- sions and other low-income groups will get a long-awaited boost to their own paycheques.

The South Nation Conservation Author- ity (SNC) will receive a $50,000 grant from the petroleum giant thanks to lots of online supporters clicking in at the company’s Fu- elling Change website. “SNC is delighted to have our Totally Turtles project benefit from the support of our residents and the Fuelling Change pro- gram,” stated Karen Paquette, SNC fisheries technician, in a press release. The Fuelling Change program is an online project of Shell Canada. The website lists various environmental projects, ranging from habitat conservation works to public awareness programs, which are in need of funding aid. People who join the website can then log in and click on those projects that they sup- port the most and feel is most deserving of funding. The more “likes” a project receives, the better its chances of qualifying for one of the levels of funding aid at the end of the public review and voting period. Shell Canada provides $1 million for divi- sion among those projects that receive the most online support. Depending on the number of votes received, a project may qualify for $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000 in Fuelling Change grants. This year 31 projects qualified for the Fuelling Change grant program. SNC’s on- going study project involving native turtle species in the 4000-square-kilometre South Nation watershed region qualified for a $50,000 grant. The money will go towards various ini- tiatives to protect native turtle habitats and reduce turtle mortality through either loss of habitat and nest damage or road- kill deaths when turtles are trying to cross backcountry roads and highways to get to their nesting sites.
