The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is designed to meet the unique needs of people with disabilities who are in financial need, or who want and are able to work and need support. Ontarians 65 years or older who are not eligible for Old Age Security may also qualify for ODSP supports if they are in financial need.

The Special Services at Home (SSAH) program is funded and administered by the Ministry of Community and Social Services.
This program provides funding directly to families so they can purchase services to provide personal development and relief support to a child or adult with a developmental disability or a child with a physical disability.
In December 2005, the ministry made two very important policy changes to the program.
SISIP Financial Services
The Canadian Assistance Personnel Assistance Fund provides financial assistance to serving and former members of the Canadian Forces (CF) and their immediate families.
Military Family Fund
The Military Families Fund (MFF) is an agile and responsive means for Base and Wing Commanders, in concert with Military Family Resource Centers (MFRC) across the country, to help military families within hours of being advised of need. It will help with short-term emergencies and also provide long-term support. The MFF allows CF leadership to meet the special-case needs of CF members and their families with speed and flexibility not always available through the traditional programs.
