For a single person on #ODSP receiving max shelter and 'basic needs' a 1.9% increase works out to about a $27/mo increase. Total $1,435/mo.

ODSP rates will go up by 1.9% starting in July for the 2026 inflation-based adjustment. There's no inflation-based adjustment for OW rates, meaning the actual OW amount received *decreases* in value again, as it has every year for 8 years now. ISAC annual rates sheet coming soon.

“The new model is a disaster.” Premier Doug Ford’s controversial plan to get Ontarians off social assistance and into jobs is failing those with complex physical and intellectual disabilities, according to the province’s own research. #onpoli trib.al/9OV2HCP

Housing policy failures, not unhoused people, drive local concerns
"People are uncomfortable seeing the results of bad policy over decades. I get that. But I also know that 'othering' people who are already vulnerable is not the answer"

Now, just imagine if the Premier had allowed the Basic Income Pilot to run its course. We could have used the evidence to make real changes to address deep poverty in Ontario. Such a bad decision and such a waste.

Ford govt's 2020-25 poverty reduction strategy failed to reach its goal.
Poverty rate dropped to a low of 6.8% in 2020 primarily driven by federal pandemic supports. In 2023 it went back up to about 11.1%.

Ontario didn't buy Doug Ford a private jet. HE bought a jet costing $30M using provincial funds. OUR TAXES.
He fired 400 nurses and hospital support staff, has stripped away environmental protections, is taking money from schools and children, and bought a jet. We need to strike
English
Increased pressure on Ford govt to address rising cost of living & ever-expanding #homelessness, neither of which were addressed in the recent budget.
“A little over a year ago, we all got $200 to help with groceries”. Right before a snap election.

Ontario’s economic plan shows more continuity than change
In other words, a lack of targeted supports for the province's lowest-income households, and the growing #homelessness crisis will continue.
