Rally for Subsidized Housing by Right to Housing Coalition
Lack of subsidized housing is a crisis in Manitoba. There are approximately 4,600 households on the wait list for a Manitoba Housing unit. Waiting on the list can last years. With nowhere else to go, many people end up staying with friends or family, in shelters, or outside.
National Housing Day lines up with the appointment of our new premier, Heather Stefanson. As the new leadership sets its priorities, let’s make sure subsidized housing is on the agenda.
We call on Premier Stefanson to prioritize building 300 new subsidized housing units as soon as possible.
Please bring signs showing your support for subsidized housing.
We will be following all Covid-19 protocols. Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
