I wonder if the company also plans to house these people. At $2100/mo., they may find it hard to make ends meet.

Rent will probably run around $1000/mo for a place large enough for the family. Rental properties do not always come furnished. Generally, utilities are not included (or portions of the utilities).

There are individual rooms in people's homes that can be rented for around $400/500 a month. But those are for single renters.

The people will need winter clothes, not an inconsiderable expense. That said, things can be picked up at Value Village and there are other helpful/charitable outlets.

Groceries for a family for a month will run a minimum of $600, and they may even need a car.

All that said, there are many people living in this province that only make $13/hour and some even less than that.

I know I couldn't even fathom attempting to live on that kind of money, but then, my life has given me many advantages and opportunities which have translated into expectations and a lifestyle of reasonable comfort and some excess.
