Co-op housing helps Saskatchewan thrive.

The Issue

There is a lack of housing options that meet the needs of todays Saskatchewan residents. The Saskatchewan government has allowed rental assistance to lapse, uprooting low-income households from their good-quality, affordable homes. The need to create more affordable units is increasing and we are left with few options, while falling further and further behind. What Saskatchewanians really need is a place to call home that is affordable, sustainable and attainable.

The Solution

The next Saskatchewan government needs to commit to long-term rental assistance programs for low-income households living in non-profit and co-operative housing. Rental assistance is a simple way to support low-income households cover the cost of rent. The government needs to prioritize assisting low-income households so we can work together to preserve the long-term sustainability of community housing. By maintaining a rental assistance program, we can help more low-income families live in co-ops across the province.
