FIT program ends in October
July 4, 2025
After careful consideration, FST has made the difficult decision to close the Families in Transition (FIT) program effective October 10, 2025.
The decision to end the program after more than 40 years was made after thorough consideration of its impact on clients, staff and the wider FST community.
FST’s 2025/26 budget identified the need for cost savings this year as a result of funding reductions. Client referrals for the FIT program have been low in recent years.
As of July 4, 2025, the FIT program is no longer accepting new client referrals. Service to active clients will wind down over the coming weeks. We remain deeply committed to supporting both current FIT clients and our staff through this transition.
Please see our Family in Transitions resources page for information regarding access to alternative programs and services for children and families. We will continue to prioritize the well-being of all stakeholders and maintain open lines of communication over the coming weeks.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to the FIT program over the past four decades. While this marks the end of an era, FST remains devoted to meeting community needs and supporting all individuals and families.
