On Jan. 10, the Rent Assistance Ad-Hoc Working Group held its initial meeting, during which the terms of reference for the group’s work were discussed along with a list of data that would help evaluate current rent assistance programs. If your organization administers rent assistance and you have insights you want to share with this group, please feel free to reach out to ASCHA. As the work evolves, we will contact organizations that administer rent assistance to ensure all challenges and opportunities are considered.ASCHA's 2025 Pre-Budget Submission

Transforming Care for Aging Albertans
Improved health service integration in housing environments is absolutely critical to our members. ASCHA is excited to share our position paper: Transforming Care for Aging Albertans: Leveraging Housing as Foundational to Integrated Care & Supports to advance our advocacy work on enhanced home care approaches. By leveraging existing options, coordinating and navigating services at a community level, dynamic resource allocation, and strengthening home care through enhanced access, we can work in partnership with government, allied organizations, community-based services, and the health care system to better serve Albertans. This paper, which looks primarily at housing-based care and supports, has been created in collaboration with the Christian Health Association of Alberta (CHAA), who are championing the same recommendations and approach from their own facility-based care lens. We are very excited about our joint efforts in this area, and we welcome further dialogue and feedback from our various audiences.
