Comments added by the Charity:
From August 15, 2023:
Thank you, Charity Intelligence, for your audit, recommendations, and for raising the bar for transparency and operations in the Canadian charitable sector.
In the materials used to inform this Charity Intelligence audit of FY21/22, our total number of clients impacted had not yet achieved pre-pandemic levels, however, directional movement was already demonstrating healthy progress towards a new normal:
With residual pandemic gathering restrictions behind, and the introduction of Emily’s House at Home in-home care options, we are confident that this recovery will continue to track growth to meet a wide range of needs in the preferred care locations for clients – for children, adults and entire families.
