Newfoundland and Labrador Social Supports and Well-Being funds programs that improve health, inclusion, accessibility, aging, youth supports and social development across the province.

Newfoundland and Labrador s Department of Social Supports and Well-Being supports individuals, families and communities by advancing health and social well-being, poverty reduction, inclusion, diversity and healthy active living. Its funding role includes grants connected to accessibility, age-friendly communities, youth organizations, community transportation and social inclusion for seniors. In the funding ecosystem, this department is a core public funder for projects that do not fit neatly into a single health, municipal or nonprofit budget. Its programs help communities remove barriers, respond to demographic change, keep seniors connected, support youth-led and youth-serving organizations, and make local services more inclusive. Because many social-development projects are small, regional or prevention-focused, provincial grants from this department can unlock planning, equipment, outreach and partnership work that would otherwise be delayed. The department turns social policy into practical community capacity across Newfoundland and Labrador.
