A Greater Sudbury senior says she will be homeless after being evicted from her apartment.
Heidi Stewart, 63, lost her job and was not able to afford her rent for six months.
"I was let go, so I had to go on my employment insurance. Once that ran out, I was left with no funds to live on,” she said.
“I was trying to and I still am trying to find work."
Stewart, a former addictions counsellor, told CTV News that she was unable to find a job in her profession because now, employers are looking for someone with a master's or a university degree.
The 63-year-old receives a widow’s pension and has gone on Ontario Works as her employment insurance has run out. Steward said she receives roughly $600 a month.
