Does Budget 2024 uphold your human right to housing? Does it make a difference for the millions of people across Canada facing unaffordable rents, core housing need, and homelessness today? ➡️Answers in our budget analysis here: housingrights.ca/budget-2024/
As more and more data points to the ways that #renters are being targeted by landlords, this news on above-guideline rent increases (#AGIs) is unfortunately no surprise. There is currently BSH research on AGIs in Toronto and Vancouver (report forthcoming) cbc.ca/news/investiga…

@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
#Budget2024 is a step forward on non-market housing, financialization & encampments. There must be transparent, human rights-based oversight of this funding so that it makes measurable progress to end inadequate housing & homelessness. Statement ➡️ bit.ly/447kVag
Renters are one of the most vulnerable groups in #housing. In our research, we've seen that bad-faith #evictions are rising in ON, and renters are being displaced into some of the most $$$ markets in Canada. Stay tuned for an upcoming report on #FillingtheGaps in Toronto.
Bill 170 was defeated this week. We are disappointed that the Ontario gov't voted against this crucial opportunity to expand renter protections and preserve housing affordability. Ontario's renters deserve fairness and security in their homes. ola.org/en/legislative…
Canada's housing plan & Freeland's budget: A welcome change of course, but far too timid Release: frapru.qc.ca/canada-housing… #cdnpoli #Budget2024
There’s a lot that’s GREAT in the fed housing plan: bringing zoning, building codes & construction into the 21st century, linking infrastructure $$ to provinces & mun to less gatekeeping, tax incentives for PBR = more well located middle class supply. What would be BETTER 1/3
Emcampment residents are human rights holders and any city that crafts such new bylaws before consulting them violates their right. Cities must do better! #RightToShelter
