"Asking rents in Canada fell two per cent year-over-year in January to an average of $2,057, marking the 16th consecutive month of annual rent decreases.'
meanwhile anyone on #Disability in #Ontario, #ODSP, knows you get a maximum of $522 for rent (single person), and it took me 3 years to get on ODSP. Don't nobody need to ever ask again why homeless populations are EXPLODING
radio says $1800 on average for a 1 bed right now in Kingston per rentals ca or whatever. #ODSP gives a max $522 for housing for a single person. If the Liberals had put in their #UBI it would've been $2000, leaving you with $200 to live off of. But #DougFord has only increased ODSP by $50 in 9 years.
Most #Disabled people are like me, we WANT to work, but physically can't. We are almost on death's door as it is, and it's ODSP or die in a gutter.
"98% of Canadian households tracked receiving social assistance live below poverty line: report
73 per cent of households tracked were living in “deep poverty,”
“It’s not just that people are poor, it’s that they are deeply poor,”
“I don’t think people really understand the depth of poverty that people who are on social assistance have to live with,”"
keeping in mind, it took me 3 years to get on #Disability #ODSP and it only pays $522 for housing max
