John Kunka is one of thousands of Calgarians who need affordable housing.
Kunka lost his left leg to infection last year and is on AISH.
His wife works at Walmart.
Until Monday, they lived in a five-bedroom home, but it was sold and their time was up.
Tuesday, the couple, along with Kunka's parents, moved into a tiny two-bedroom apartment that costs $300 more than the entire house they had been renting.
"It's tough. It's going to take a huge change in living … lifestyle," said Kunka.
"The stress we've gone through over the last three months, it's been really tough. And medically-wise, it's caused a lot of problems with myself when I already have a lot of medical issues as it is. It's put a lot of stress on all of us. It's been really difficult."
