The Manitoba Right to Housing Coalition (RTH) and its national partner, Social Housing and Human Rights (SHHR) coalition is disappointed that Budget 2024 has failed to adequately invest in housing that is affordable to the lowest-income households and people experiencing homelessness. RTH has identified a need in Manitoba for a minimum of 10,000 new non-market social housing units with rents set at less than 30% of income over 10 years. SSHR has identified the need for at least 500,000 units across Canada over 10-years. The federal budget does not include a target for new social housing. Instead, it continues to focus on “affordable housing” for middle and high-income households.
