Right to housing is a group of individuals and representatives of community-based organizations who seek to address the housing needs of Winnipeggers through education and advocacy. [...] I encourage you to amend the 2023 budget and double the number of full-time staff dedicated to housing to 6. [...] This could be the first step toward a dedicated housing office to coordinate new affordable housing and programs to retain the lower-rent housing we are in danger of losing. [...] To protect and retain our rapidly depleting lower-rent housing stock, we also encourage you to increase your support of the Housing Rehabilitation and Investment Reserve, currently funded at $1M in the Budget. [...] When asked how to improve the quality of life in Winnipeg, the most common answer was to invest in housing and social programs.
