OUR COVID-19 PLAN

We know that this moment in time is unnerving. We are all in this situation together, so please remember how important it is to support one another.

As the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to evolve globally, we are taking some immediate, precautionary measures to preserve and promote the health of our clients, staff and other community members.

As an essential service, our offices will remain open. While a number of our staff are working remotely, we remain fully available to our clients by phone and email. As circumstances surrounding this pandemic are evolving by the hour, we will continue to review our approach daily and provide updates as appropriate.

Deepa Mattoo, Executive Director
