Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 7)

" The Government provides support for social housing through long-term operating agreements with social housing providers. As these agreements expire, some federally administered social housing providers may struggle to continue serving low-income households without increasing rental rates. Budget 2016 proposes to reallocate $30 million over two years, starting in 2016–17, to help these providers maintain rent-geared-to-income for households living in social housing. This additional support would be provided on a time- limited basis until long-term approaches to help the social housing sector achieve self-reliance can be developed through consultations with provinces, territories and stakeholders.
