Jordan's Principle supports children who need help right away and are making long-term changes for the future, such as through reforming child and family services.

For the long-term, Jordan's Principle is working to build better structures and funding models. These will make sure First Nations children living in Canada get the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. To do this, Jordan's Principe is working closely with:

• provinces
• territories
• First Nations partners
• service organizations

Since 2016, the Government has committed $3.5 billion toward meeting the needs of First Nations children through Jordan's Principle.

Local service coordinators have been hired in communities across Canada. They can help families who:

• have questions about Jordan's Principle
• would like to submit a request for products, services or supports under Jordan's Principle

Jordan's Principle funds these coordinators, who are staffed by:

• local tribal councils
• First Nations communities
• regional health authorities
• First Nations non-governmental organizations, etc.

Jordan's Principe also has dedicated full-time staff across the Country. They work closely with the local coordinators to make sure all requests are processed as quickly as possible.
