Social Development and Housing Minister Kelly Lamrock announcing a major change to the rules governing social assistance when he spoke to the annual meeting of Vibrant Communities in the city. Lamrock says those people who go on social assistance this year can apply to not be financially penalised if they want to share accomodation and expenses pending a major overhaul of the whole system.
In the meantime, those people who were receiving social assistance as of January of this year can have roommates without applying for any exemption from the previous policy.
