The Ministry of Investment, Innovation, and Social Development (MIISD) has launched a comprehensive community resource guide. This essential resource provides members of the community with direct access to a curated list of community organisations addressing a wide range of subject areas, including employment, training and development, health and wellness resources, and social programmes and services. This guide is designed to help individuals and families connect with the support they need, as well as help practitioners and service providers direct people to appropriate resources.
The Community Resource Guide will serve as a centralised document that residents can easily download, providing information and contact details for a wide variety of services and programmes available to them, whether they are seeking assistance with job placements, health services, or social support networks. This guide is part of a broader network of social development initiatives, reflecting the Ministry’s commitment to fostering collaboration among community organisations. Recognising the importance of staying current with the ever-changing needs of the community, the Ministry is dedicated to updating the guide regularly to ensure it remains an accurate and reliable resource for all community members.
MIISD Chief Officer, Tamara Ebanks, highlighted the significance of this initiative, saying, “We understand that accessing the right services at the right time can make a world of difference in someone’s life. The Community Resource Guide is a direct response to the needs of our community, providing a central, accessible hub of information. By ensuring it is regularly updated, we are committed to fostering a connected, resilient, and thriving society.”
The Community Resource Guide is available now and can be accessed through the Ministry’s official website at Community Resource Guide and also the Department of Financial Assistance website at http://www.dfa.gov.ky/community-resources . The Ministry encourages all community members, service providers, and stakeholders to explore the guide and take advantage of the opportunities it offers for connection, support, and development.
For more information or to provide feedback and suggestions for the guide, please contact the Ministry at miisd@gov.ky or by phone at 949-2950. Organisations included in the guide are encouraged to provide updated information about their services to ensure accuracy. While updates will be made at regular intervals, we appreciate timely input to keep the guide relevant and useful.
