Major shelter program for elderly to start in January
Premier Sterling Lyon and Manitoba Housing minister J. Frank Johnston announce the S.A.F.E.R. program Shelter Allowances for Elderly Renters to cut rents for low and moderate income seniors. Monthly cash payments begin January 1980 with aid based on income and rent up to 205 dollars for singles and 225 dollars for couples. The plan targets seniors paying more than 30 percent of income for rent, with higher aids for the lowest incomes and subsidies for non subsidized housing.
