The Canada Manitoba Housing Benefit is available through the Canadian Mental Health Association of Thompson.

Not sure about what the Benefit provides?

Stephanie Hysert with the CMHA has the details here.

"To be eligible for the CMHB benefits, it is required that you are living in Manitoba, paying rent in the private market, receiving employment and income assistance, or non- EIA rent assist. If you are needing help with paying your rent or utilities, you can get up to $350 per month if you qualify for the program. You may also qualify for $72 dollars a month to help cover utility costs if it is not included in your rent.”

The Benefit is co-funded by the government of Canada through the CMHC and the Manitoba Government through the department of housing, addictions and homelessness.
