Manitoba to Boost Rental Subsidies for Seniors and Families
Approximately 5 000 low income seniors and families will receive an average nine percent increase in housing subsidies due to changes to SAFER and SAFFR programs. Housing Minister Jim Ernst notes annual updates reflect cost of living and rent changes, with higher income eligibility and maximum rent limits. The programs cover up to 90 percent of eligible rental costs over 25 percent of household income, and sustain support even if rents exceed limits.
