The Ontario Municipal Social Services Association (OMSSA) is a non-profit association whose members are Ontario’s Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSMs) and District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs).
By supporting, connecting and advocating for our members across Ontario, we help them to achieve their collective mission of delivering the best human services outcomes for Ontario’s communities.
OMSSA's members are Ontario's 47 Service System Managers, including:
37 Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSMs), or upper and single-tier municipalities across Ontario
10 District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs) in areas where no upper-tier municipality exists in Ontario’s north
In Ontario, core social services like income support, child care and early years services and social housing are planned, managed and co-funded by municipal Service System Managers.
