Get help with the cost of transit, child care, rent and recreation at two in-person sites: At Scarborough Civic Centre every Tuesday and at Regent Park Community Centre every Wednesday as well at pop-ups at City and community location across Toronto. Staff can take applications from residents for benefits and subsidies, answer questions and help navigate available services at these in-person sessions. Find out more at toronto.ca/HumanServices.
