If you are on Employment and Income Assistance, how often can you receive money for new bedding?
What is the number of job applications that must be made per week while on General Assistance and how many bus tickets are provided?
West Central Women’s Resource Centre’s HOMES Project (Housing Options, Mentorship and Economic Security) has created games to educate and deliver information on these topics and others like them.
The HOMES program was designed to support women who are dealing with problems or concerns around housing or income security (welfare or employment assistance). HOMES mentors include both staff members and community volunteers who help community members address issues within housing and income assistance and provide information on these topics. Additional benefits of the program include workshops, information sessions and discussion groups where women who have had similar experiences can come to support one another.
The two Jeopardy-inspired games entitled EIA Jeopardy Game, and Rewarding Work Jeopardy Game were developed as a tool for education and information sharing, and can be played just like the popular television game show when they are downloaded off of West Central Women’s Resource Centre’s website.
