where they actually live may differ 😉 😉

Did you know?

When the Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) program fully replaced the Saskatchewan Assistance Plan (SAP) program in the summer of 2021 it had slightly better base rates than SAP. This was deceptive, however, as it did not cover basic utilities and had very few provisions for special needs. At present, it only provides $660 per month in Saskatoon and Regina and $600 for the rest of the province for all shelter related needs, including utilities. It provides $365 basic adult income for everything else. According to the Provincial Auditor's report in 2023, over 5200 SIS households were dealing with significant utility arrears. This makes gaining and maintaining housing extremely difficult.

Two things come to mind 🤔 first is many leases have a stipulation that if your utilities get cut off you get evicted, making it extremely hard in getting a new place, since utilities are needed,.. its a catch 22,. Secondly I wonder if privatization of crown corporations played a part in the Ministry no longer covering the utilities,. On a side note Social Services still cover utilities for clients on SAID

I knew, because I went through this, and it is pathetic.....especially the clawbacks.....

I really don't like this like it seems welfare doesn't care about any of us even when it comes to rent

Does this help people on SAID? Can a single person with mental health and chronic pain be eligible for the TCDB?

$10-a-day childcare is one of the most meaningful affordability measures we’ve seen in a generation. It’s helping parents return to work, supporting kids, creating good jobs, and saving Saskatchewan families thousands.

Let’s not go backward.
