Welcome to the District of Nipissing Social Services Administration Board
Our vision: Healthy, Sustainable Communities
DNSSAB Land Acknowledgement: The District of Nipissing Social Services Administration Board (DNSSAB) acknowledges we are located on the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850 Territory, which is representative of the people of Nipissing First Nation and Temagami First Nation as well as the unceded Territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.
We understand that the standard of living we enjoy here is a result of thousands of years of stewardship by the original inhabitants and the inequitable taking of the land from them. We acknowledge that in order to have reconciliation, we must first understand truth; the DNSSAB commits to move forward in an effort to achieve both.
This is what we do:
We help people to put an affordable roof over their heads, we make sure an ambulance takes you to the hospital when needed, we help residents find affordable childcare so that they can go to work to support their family, and we’re there when a little support can make a world of difference during a rough patch in life.
In 2024, 1,007 children in the Nipissing District received subsidized child care.
DNSSAB subsidizes 2,320 community housing units, including 2,109 units provided by 22 social and affordable housing providers.
In 2024, Ontario Works assisted 2,843 individuals & families on average each month.
Last year, Nipissing District Paramedics responded to 19,293 calls.
This is who we serve:
