Before the end of the month, Manitoba Housing is hoping to immediately house 50 people who are currently, or at risk of becoming, homeless.
Families Minister Rochelle Squires says $2.56 million is being given to the Manitoba Non-Profit Housing Association (MNPHA) over the course of two years.
“While housing is foundational to addressing homelessness, sometimes additional supports are needed so people not only stay housed but achieve their goals and thrive,” Christina Maes Nino, executive director of MNPHA says in a statement.
