1 Canada Social Report Poverty Reduction Strategy Summary, Manitoba Updated:
2 This series summarizes the poverty reduction strategies now in place or in development in provinces and territories across Canada. Details were gathered from public documents made available by the profiled jurisdiction. In April 2012, the province released the four-year ALL ABOARD: Manitoba s Poverty Reduction and Social Inclusion Strategy. Funding was to be directed toward four key intervention pillars: safe affordable housing; education, jobs and income support; strong and healthy families; and coordinated programs and services. Poverty reduction activities focus on seven priority areas: 1. Building Blocks for Employment (Sustainable Employment and a Stronger Labour Market) 2. Targeted Supports for Those Most In Need 3. Food Security 4. Housing 5. Closing the Gap for Aboriginal Peoples in Manitoba 6. Creating Opportunities for Youth 7. Early Childhood Development and Parenting Supports. PLAN In June 2011, the Manitoba government announced The Poverty Reduction Strategy Act. It includes requirements for the government to take into account the poverty reduction and social inclusion strategy when preparing its annual Budget. It also requires the government to prepare a yearly statement, to be tabled with the Budget, which will explain how the strategy is implemented, the financial implications of the strategy and the indicators (as prescribed in regulation) to be used to measure the strategy s progress. OUTCOMES/METRICS The province consulted organizations and individuals in determining a set of 21 indicators of poverty and social exclusion to the All Aboard strategy s four pillars and their respective objectives. Pillar 1: Safe, Affordable Housing in Supportive Communities 1.

The number of social and affordable housing units has increased by 5.3% since MHRC supported 31,681 units of social and affordable housing (in addition to supporting 4,368 special purpose and personal care home beds). The decrease is attributed to rent supplement agreements that have expired or because of landlords who have elected not to exercise their extension option Page 2
