It means that if you receive social assistance, you will be able to fully benefit from the new Canada Disability Benefit program.
The Ontario government intends to exempt the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) from income so that social assistance recipients would receive the benefit without seeing a reduction in their provincial social assistance payments or entitlements. The changes would help recipients of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), Ontario Works and the Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD) program receive their maximum entitlements.

Led by Extend-a-Family Kingston (DSO South East Region) in collaboration with Surrey Place (DSO Toronto Region), Service Coordination Support (DSO Eastern Region), and SHS Inc., this Ontario-based Solutions Lab will explore the following challenge:
How might we design a “win-win” model for property owners to contribute their assets to a community land trust to unlock new affordable supportive housing options for individuals with developmental disabilities?
They welcome individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families and caregivers, community land trusts, and support service providers to join them in launching this innovative initiative!
