In times of crisis, we need to come together to support one another.
Basic needs are essential at all times, especially during a crisis.
The Government of Manitoba can reduce poverty and homelessness and stop the spread of COVID-19 through immediate action:
- Increase the EIA allowances for single adults & for people with disabilities and transform EIA into a Liveable Basic Needs Benefit.
- Fully exempt the CERB, CRB and other federal COVID-19 recovery measures from EIA claw backs to ensure EIA benefits are not interrupted or reduced.
We need your help!
