With children involved, the Saskatchewan opposition NDP says the situation should have been handled differently after the locks on the home were changed and the family was shutout of the house.
The family said it issued a call for help, but claims it got the runaround. They had enough money for a night in a motel but then went to their local MLA’s office for further assistance.
The mother, Rena Nepinak said many organizations knew of the father’s situation.
“All the programs knew. Saskatchewan Income Support knew, Regina Housing knew that. They all knew that he was being evicted but still he was still left here with no alternative,” she said.
Nepinak said the children’s father called Saskatchewan Income Support first and then Regina Housing, which directed him back to income support.
“So this family did come to our office for assistance. They were evicted from Regina Housing. They say it was due to some noise complaints. They weren’t behind on rent. They weren’t behind on utilities and we were pretty shocked,” NDP MLA Meara Conway said.
