Alberta woman says those on disability benefits will miss out on feds’ rent top up
The office of the federal minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion and CMHC provided a joint statement to Global News.“We know that it is getting harder for many Canadians to afford rent or to find housing that they can afford. That is why the government of Canada is providing a new, direct federal one-time top-up to the CHB to nearly two million renters who are struggling with the cost of housing.
“The government of Canada has also reintroduced the framework legislation to create the historic Canada Disability Benefit, an income supplement for working-age Canadians with disabilities. Click to share quote on Twitter: "That means that all permanently and severely disabled individuals, citizens in Alberta were denied the $500 one-time rent top up."
Another woman on AISH who reached out to Global News said her application for the $500 benefit was also denied.
