Our Impact

overview

Pandemic challenges, long-term systemic and institutional barriers, and personal circumstances continue to prevent vulnerable Canadians who need financial help the most from finding it. Without this help, many Canadians will continue to see their financial situation deteriorate and be sidelined in Canada’s economic recovery, leading to even greater economic disparities, particularly for Indigenous and racialized communities.

Today, Canadians are hopeful that we are turning a corner, but the financial impact of the pandemic on households is still unfolding. Since 2018, the number of lower income households has grown from approximately 4.6 million to 6.75 million. The time to invest in a strong recovery for everyone in Canada is now.

Working together, we can remove barriers, create real pathways to prosperity for Canadians with low incomes, strengthen the financial trajectory of Canadian households and build more resilient communities.
