Innovation and inclusion

How does technology fit in?

Many Canadians with low incomes face barriers like geography, mobility, or limited access to in-person services. Digital tools—like Benefits Wayfinder or Disability Benefits Compass—remove those barriers by putting trusted support directly in people’s hands.

It also means help is available anytime, anywhere—not just during office hours or at a specific location. This flexibility is critical for people juggling shift work, caregiving, or multiple jobs.

Finally, technology allows Prosper Canada and community partners to reach more people with fewer resources, ensuring accurate, up-to-date information and creating pathways that are easier to navigate. The result: more individuals and families can access benefits, reduce financial stress, and build lasting stability.
