End of co-operative rental subsidies could displace 200 Sask. families, advocates say | CBC News
O’Keefe has lived at Rainbow Housing Co-op in Saskatoon for 10 years.
Through
a partnership with the province, some residents have subsidized rent
and pay roughly 30 per cent of their income, rather than the usual full
rental amount. That program allowed O’Keefe and her family to find
housing at the co-operative.
“Money was really tight,” said
O’Keefe. “I was going to the food bank and putting a little bit of water
in the milk to make it go a little bit longer.”
