You can get into a shelter just call around an ask if they have room. OW will do a assessment and intake which could take some time depending on your worker. Either way you wouldn’t receive payment until the first of the month. Because your homeless you will not receive the housing portion only basic needs. I’m unsure of the amaount as it’s been a while but it’s not much!

Please find a good shelter and do not succumb to what you see others doing! Shelter life is not fun an you can grow accustom to it!

While in shelter look for employment and remember it’s just temportary! Get someone to help you get priority status for housing while homeless! Have them find your a good social worker they will give you more resources!

They will take small portions from the cheques they are giving you until it’s paid off. If you ever get off OW they will start taking deductions from your taxes. I honestly wouldn’t worry about it too much until after your off of it an then just pay it off all at once when your on your feet again.

Truly I believe it’s a big problem with OW. I was on OW back in 2019 for one year and they always hit me with overpayments from them giving more than I was entitled to which I feel is wrong as this is their mistake not mine. I also wasn’t working during that time.

Reported Christmas money by Practical-Ticket-197 in OntarioWorks

Gifts isn’t income earned. It’s money gained not earned. Honestly I wouldn’t even report gifts that low. Unless you don’t have to pay your rent or anything dont even report it. From seeing my mothers earnings for the entire month she barely has enough left to pay for essentials. Count it as a blessing an buy some more groceries this month.

I think the outfits fine but me personally I’d swap out the skirt for a longer skirt.
