The Role of Income Supports in Ending Homelessness
JULY 13, 2023
We can’t really have the conversation about ending homelessness if we don’t look at income supports for our most vulnerable. Lee Stevens from Vibrant Communities Calgary joins us on the pod this week to talk about basic income, her research around it, and her hopes for the future of income supports in Canada.

Sept 18 to 24 the MPs resume sitting in Ottawa a great time for a show of support for a basic income guarantee in Canada. You can plan a local event and add it to the IBIW calendar or join an international one online.
In Canada, we find more and more groups across the country talking about why we need basic income. But there are still millions of Canadians who have no idea why and what this means. We encourage your group, no matter how large or small, to hold a public conversation session during this week, in your local library, perhaps, or a church basement or community centre, and talk to your neighbours about what Basic Income will mean to them and their community. There’s great information on our website already and stay tuned for other resources geared to helping set up a local conversation.

Struggle to Stability: Creating A Tailored Management Course for Those Living with Low Income
Now more than ever Canadians are recognizing the importance of financial well-being – achieving peace of mind about our financial situation, feeling secure in our ability to absorb a money setback, and having the freedom to make choices that allow us to enjoy life. Financial stress is compounded when people feel a loss of control and lack the appropriate knowledge and information to make decisions in their best interests. Prosper Canada talks about the work they are doing in this area.
