US EditionManitoba government moves dozens of people from encampments into housing
- The Manitoba government has moved dozens of people from homeless encampments into 67 new social housing units as of May 2025, mainly in Winnipeg.
- This housing effort is part of the initiative introduced earlier this year to tackle chronic homelessness and incorporates comprehensive support services to ensure successful transitions for tenants.
- Since February, 33 individuals from 17 cleared encampments have moved into housing, and none have returned to tents, though new encampments have appeared in the same areas.
- Housing Minister Bernadette Smith highlighted that providing just a physical structure does not fully address people’s needs, while Premier Wab Kinew stressed the intricate collaboration required to renovate and staff the available housing units.
- Officials acknowledge a long-term effort remains to rehouse roughly 700 Manitobans living in encampments, but 100% retention and community partnerships show progress toward ending homelessness.
