Learn More and Take Action — BC is one of the last provinces left without a poverty reduction plan.
A poverty reduction plan is a comprehensive and effective strategy that addresses the root causes of poverty.
We need a long-term solution for the crisis of poverty that we are facing as a province. We need a legislated poverty reduction plan with targets and timelines that includes specific policy actions:
- Raise income assistance rates
- Raise the minimum wage
- Improve food security
- Build more social housing
- Provide universal child care
- Support training and education
- Enhance community health care
