$475 million investment for expansion of support services in BC communities   After two years of engagement and careful consultation with families, service providers and experts, government is making an investment of $475 million over three years to create a new benefit and supplement program and invest in expansion of support services in B.C. communities. A new B.C. Children and Youth Disability Benefit program and B.C. Children and Youth Disability Supplement will be phased in, replacing the existing autism funding program to reach more children across a broader group of diagnosis and needs.   #JodieWickens #MinisterofChildrenandFamilyDevelopment #Investment #BCCommunities #SupportServices #YouthDisabilityBenefitProgram #ChildrenAndYouthDisabilitySupplement #Autism #Diagnosis #SpecialNeedsChildren #BCGovt #AutismFundingProgram
