Recipients of hardship assistance now have the same access to supplements for alcohol or drug addiction treatment and counselling or related services as recipients of income assistance. In addition, hardship assistance recipients are also now eligible for the following supplements: Prenatal shelter supplement, Christmas supplement, clothing supplement for people in special care, transportation to drug and alcohol treatment and reconsideration or appeal supplement.
