Advocates say Alberta\u0027s budget fails survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse and will exacerbate homelessness and addiction.
“If you’d read the research on what causes homelessness and poverty and mental health and addiction — it’s unhealed childhood trauma,” said James, noting if that’s ignored, other public services will continue to be overloaded.
The government offered an extra $4.2 million for one year, but Tomlinson said the strings attached to that funding made it logistically impossible to accept. James said they tried in vain to get the government to come back to the table. Hunter Baril, press secretary to Seniors, Community and Social Services Minister Jeremy Nixon, said in a statement to Postmedia the government was disappointed that money isn’t being used to help those in need of supports.
“Alberta’s government is deeply committed to ensuring that those looking for support are able to find it,” he said, pointing to more than $1 billion provincewide in the budget for affordable housing capital grants, support for housing providers and rent assistance.Article content
