Belonging and Thriving: A Poverty Reduction Action Plan for Prince Edward Island (2019-2024)

Stable, safe, adequate housing is a fundamental human need, and provides a foundation from which Islanders can achieve success in education, employment, community participation, and health. 

The Poverty Elimination Strategy Act became law in May 2021. It is a requirement of the Act that the Government of Prince Edward Island provide an annual report on progress made toward targets to eliminate poverty, food insecurity, and chronic homelessness.
