Filed in: | May 5, 2008
The CCPA and the Raise the Rates Coalition
released a new study on the experiences of long-term welfare recipients in BC.
The study followed 62 people in Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna
for two years and focused on people officially categorized as ‘employable’.
Among the study’s important findings, researchers were able to establish an
important link between welfare rules and homelessness.
The Centre for Civic Governance is an initiative of the Columbia Institute.
