In fact, this is a request related to the Quebec shelter allowance program. It is highly desirable that assistance be provided for young families. However, we realize that single people who live without children face significant financial barriers, as they have no one to share the cost of rent with. They are left with a very high financial burden for housing.
We propose that extra help be given to single people without children so that they can cope with the increased rent. As they have no one to share the expenses with, an even greater burden sometimes falls on their shoulders. In our opinion, this is a flaw in the system and the government could correct it.
