Project title: The lived experiences of Income Assistance Designations Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and Persons with Persistent Multiple Barriers (PPMB).

To start I’d like to meet with you for a conversation (no longer than an hour) at a coffee shop, library or another place you feel comfortable. Your involvement in this project will be kept confidential if you choose.

By participating in this research you can:
– Gain experience working in research projects
