2023 Provincial Budget Submission of the Manitoba Non-Profit Housing Association

Throughout 2022, the Government of Manitoba held multi-sectoral consultations on its commitments to strategically reduce and end homelessness and advance a strategy for seniors to stay safe in their own homes and communities. The Manitoba Non-Profit Housing Association (MNPHA) has been pleased to participate in these consultations, and heard from its members, stakeholders, and others involved in the throughout that safe, affordable, dignified housing with appropriate supports must play a central role in those strategies. The 2023 budget is an opportunity to resource the achievement of their objectives.
The 2023 budget can immediately invest in housing through the three following recommendations:
  1. Create a Capital Funding Program for Existing Community Housing
  2. Create New Supply of Rent-Geared-to-Income Housing
  3. Provide Consistent Resources for Tenant Support within Housing
Community housing is the most cost-effective and sustainable investment in addressing housing needs for the lowest income Manitobans. Across the province, there is a deficit of about 35,000 rental housing units. Making ends meet and improving affordability for the lowest income Manitobans starts with a home. MNPHA look forward to working with the Government of Manitoba to take advantage of this moment, for the long-term prosperity of all.
