While the new BC poverty reduction strategy #togetherBC makes a welcome commitment to tackle deep poverty, it's hard to imagine how this can be achieved without substantial increases to welfare & disability rates and a more ambitious buildout of below-market housing. #bcpoli
That weak goal stems from the fact that govt remains unwilling to address the core need to boost social & disability assistance rates (as noted above), even though the cost of doing so is absolutely within govt's budget capacity: policynote.ca/deep-poverty/#… @PovReductionBC
Target to reduce deep poverty is also disappointing. Gvt says plan will result in *average* person in poverty having an income of 75% of poverty line. In contrast, @PovReductionBC has long called for *everyone* in poverty to reach at least 75% of pov line within 2 yrs.
Unfortunately, there were no additional increases in welfare & disability rates in today's strategy so people on welfare & disability assistance will continue to live in deep poverty (less than 75% of the poverty line). In my view, this is the biggest shortcoming of #togetherbc.
Thank you @PovReductionBC for your intelligent commentary on the Poverty Reduction plan released today. We are excited about this big step forward in #SDOH action in BC!
B.C.’s first ever Poverty Reduction Plan tracks strong start with comprehensive approach but gaps need to be filled moving forward: bcpovertyreduction.ca/2019/03/b-c-s-…
