Lethbridge to see rent support for low-income households

The governments of Alberta and Canada announced they will be providing rent support for $35,500 low-income Alberta households through the Canada-Alberta Housing Benefit. The $444 million investment will allow the governments to provide households with the support, including households in Lethbridge. 

CAO of Lethbridge Housing Authority, Robin James, says the funding is a welcomed benefit to the community and those in need.

The program features flexibility in housing choice and includes a long-term benefit for those most in need and a new temporary benefit for working Albertans and those between jobs.
