The Housing Policy & Advocacy program provides support to women facing housing insecurity or challenges related to rental agreements, mortgages, or unsafe living conditions. The goal is to empower women by helping them understand their housing rights, offering guidance on navigating housing systems, and advocating for better housing conditions.

Legal Guidance: WEO connects participants with legal professionals who can offer advice on tenant rights, lease agreements, and mortgage issues.
Housing Policy Education: Workshops and resources to educate women about their rights and responsibilities as tenants or homeowners.
2. Support in Navigating Housing Challenges:
Rental and Mortgage Assistance: Practical support to help women understand and apply for rental assistance programs or mortgage relief.
Eviction Prevention: Guidance on handling disputes with landlords and preventing eviction through legal and advocacy channels.
3. Advocacy for Better Housing Conditions:

Access to Safe Housing: Assistance in finding safe and affordable housing options, particularly for women in crisis situations.
WEO’s Housing Policy & Advocacy program is critical in ensuring that women in Manitoba have the support and knowledge needed to secure safe, affordable, and stable housing. By offering legal guidance and advocacy, WEO empowers women to fight for their rights and access the housing they deserve.
