Manitoba Makes Housing Progress Amid Crisis | Winnipeg News

Published 4 weeks ago
Description

Manitoba’s bold “Your Way Home” strategy is making real progress—249 people have left encampments and found housing, putting the province over halfway to its 350-person goal by October 2027. With 85% still stable, housing is proving to be the critical first step toward recovery. Despite a worsening drug toxicity crisis and a housing shortage that leaves over 100 people waiting, officials remain focused on individual needs, pairing housing with treatment and essential services. Since October 2023, 352 have been moved directly from hospitals into homes, and new housing is being incentivized through tax credits. Collaborative efforts with the city and expanded overdose response—including a supervised consumption site—are part of a broader push to build thousands of new units and turn the tide on homelessness.
