Province announces details of Rent Assist Program

The Province of Manitoba introduced details on Manitoba’s Rent Assist program, a new financial benefit available to both social assistance and other low-income Manitobans.  Rent Assist will replace the current EIA shelter allowance and RentAid programs.  The government has committed that rates will increase over a four-year period to 75% of Median Market Rent for EIA participants.
