Welfare in Newfoundland, officially known as income assistance, is a provincial social assistance program designed to provide financial support to low-income individuals and families who are unable to meet their basic needs. Individuals who are unemployed, underemployed, or unable to work due to a disability or other barriers may be eligible for income assistance.
Income assistance can provide essential financial support for basic necessities such as food, shelter, clothing, and utilities. It can help individuals and families maintain a basic standard of living, improve their health and well-being, and participate more fully in their communities.
