The Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre provides various services to support newcomers, youth, refugees, families, and low-income individuals in the community. The Centre aims to help people find jobs, housing, education, healthcare and other services. It offers programs for early years, youth, and the community, focusing on areas like employment, health, relationships, arts and social justice. While the Centre collaborates with other local organizations, barriers like language, culture, lack of information and limited funding and staff can sometimes affect its accessibility and services.
