Still surprises me 2 find blatant discrimination in violation of human rights laws. New " affordable" housing 1 bed apartments but u MUST Have a job or self employment
Must earn at least $15,000
Province funded 11.5 million to the building. PWD receiving benefits need not apply!

Ticks me right off!
How can they advertise offering units at rents as low as $375 then pwd dont even get to apply. Brand new building fully rented out.
On govt site theg complement them!!!
Infuriating!

In the province where this is located its interesting that the maximum disability payment is about $15,000 a year so to qualify to apply a pwd wud have to earn enuf to lose their mthly disabilty check and related benefits. Reminds me of a house my parents looked at to buy many

Years ago in Southern USA. Criteria was u had to be white. So obviously a person of color wud be refused. So this housing project is saying u must b employed making $15,000. Does not say disabled and seniors can't apply. But that is the effect. So that's creating affordable

Housing funded by the tax dollars that the seniors and disabled paid back when they were employed. What a kick in the teeth

The city kicked in $12000 province kicked in 11.5 million plus another agency brought it up to 28 million. For " affordable housing".

They might as well have a sign out front saying disabled and seniors need not apply.
Remember that song Signs?
