A small community resource centre in southeast Calgary says it's worried about keeping the doors open, as it faces rent increases from Calgary Housing Company.
The arm's length city property manager says the increases are less than reported and are aimed at covering basic operating costs.For more than 20 years, the Southeast Calgary Community Resource Centre has helped out people like Lynn Calvert, who sometimes struggles to get by.
Calgary Housing Company says its most recent offer worked out to roughly $700 a month, and that the increases are based on projected repairs to the building. She says as rent goes up, they will try to find a way, but an extra few hundred dollars in expenses will change what they can provide."It's a lot of milk. It's a lot of Cheerios."
"The government is allowing the landlords to do whatever they want. They're raising the rents. People can't afford to even pay what they're paying and they're doubling their rents," Mutch said.
