Vision
Saskatchewan people, regardless of differences in needs or circumstances,
have opportunities to contribute and be included in the economic
and social life of the province.
Principles
- Citizens have a right to opportunities for economic and social
inclusion, and a responsibility to participate and contribute
within their capacities.
- Citizens need a productive role in life that provides the opportunity
to contribute to their own well-being, to families, to communities,
and to the province.
- Citizenship for all people is a shared responsibility and is
achieved through partnerships among individuals, families, communities
and governments.
- Sustainable social policy reflects widely shared values and
is developed through open dialogue with clients, stakeholders
and the public.
- Interventions to support citizenship should be built on the
best evidence of what works.
- Programs and services should be the least intrusive possible
to achieve desired objectives.
- Community Resources is accountable to government and the public
for the effectiveness and efficiency of its programs and services.
Goal 1 - Economic independence and self-reliance.
Objectives
- Increase labour market attachment for persons with multiple
barriers to employment, including low-income.
- Reduce dependency on highly subsidized and structured government
initiatives.
- Provide fair, effective last-resort economic protections when
needed.
Goal 2 - Inclusion in families and communities.
Objectives
- Keep children in functional families.
- Reduce reliance on child welfare services that separate families.
- Maintain quality residential care standards.
- Support people with disabilities and seniors to live independently
in the community.
