Ahead of the Provincial General Election next month, the Alberta NDP revealed their, entitled Every Albertan Deserves a Home, highlighting an overall commitment to providing homes for 40,000 people in the province within the next five years.
“Affordable Housing is a provincial responsibility, and we cannot afford to fall short,” Notley added. “Alberta’s NDP will act so all Albertans can have a safe place to call home and have the support they need to live a healthy and dignified life.” To keep this support reliable, the NDP says that the government’s current “episodic and volatile” method of providing funding to shelters has to change, and that it will consult with various social organizations towards establishing a funding formula that can provide stable funding to shelters.
“More substantive wrap-around services and secure housing provide stability for people in recovery from substance use addictions and therefore promotes more success in recovery,” the NDP says. “Keeping people in stable housing saves costs throughout government services, including in health and the justice system.
They note, however, that this will only be done once the existing waiting list for affordable housing has been significantly reduced.The NDP says that under the UCP, thousands of Albertans have been disqualified from receiving shelter support, and that the NDP would work towards reversing some of the UCP’s policies and improving the Income Support program.
