The new strategy focuses on strengthening existing services, helping people transition out of homelessness and increasing co-ordination, Manitoba minister says
Manitoba is launching a new all-government strategy for homelessness that will see hundreds of new social housing units.
Families Minister Rochelle Squires says the change in approach is needed to end homelessness, rather than just manage it. She says the new strategy, called A Place for Everyone, focuses on strengthening existing services, helping people transition out of homelessness and increasing co-ordination within provincial departments and among all orders of government.
Squires says 400 housing units will be added to a rent supplement program and a capital contribution program will be started to support the development of 300 more.Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham says no one chooses to be homeless and the housing-first approach has proven to be successful.
