October 17th, International Day to Eradicate Poverty - A home for all

Imagine coming home to find out your rent doubled, tripled or even quadrupled to no fault of your own? Many people live in poverty and face a great deal of confusing red tape, trapped in systems that become a full-time effort to navigate. Such a story almost happened to Mary. 

A lesson Mary would like to share is this...  "If housing was affordable and folks had the support they need, they would have the opportunity to make their place, their home."

This October 17th, Let's all hope we work towards an inclusive society for all. Learn more about Alberta's "Rent Assistance Benefit" so we can all remain safe in our homes with the support we may need. 

Zine created by Mary

The United Nations recognizes October 17th, 2024, as International Day to Eradicate Poverty. This year's theme is "End Social and Institutional Maltreatment. Act together for just, peaceful, and inclusive societies."
