Tomorrow is #NationalHousingDay and we've put together three easy but meaningful things you can do to take action! Find out here: caeh.ca/3-things-natio…
We predicted this 9 mos ago. We produced evidence. We highlighted, underscored, bolded it for policy makers. Yet, no intervention. Those hardest hit will not recover from the fall. A struggling rental market could usher in the next U.S. housing crisis wsj.com/articles/strug…
This is pretty terrifying: Housing crisis meets gig economy meets global pandemic and economic hardship. vice.com/amp/en_ca/arti…
A great piece, but there’s one big difference between 2008 and what’s happening now. The foreclosure crisis led to a drastic expansion of the renter class. The current wave of evictions, by contrast, is creating a colossal population of people without any home at all.

Leilani Farha: “Housing has become the front line defence against the coronavirus. Home has rarely been more of a life or death situation.” Now more than ever we need to be addressing the homelessness crisis: ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
How are tenants expected to make rent if they're forced to stay home from work? Especially those working in precarious jobs without sick leave, or even sick days? thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
One of the many manifestations of the global housing crisis: “We are finding that more landlords are attempting to rent out housing that is not only unsuitable but can have a detrimental impact on people’s mental health.” theguardian.com/cities/2019/de…
Canadian apartment buildings are "one of the hottest asset classes in the world, and institutional buyers desperate [for] the next great investment [scramble] to scoop them up." Housing is a human right, not a commodity. @JohnTory @TORHousing @anabailaoTO theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
The #Unignorable Tower from @UWGreaterTO representing the number of individuals and families struggling with poverty in the GTA. A very effective and powerful way to highlight an issue that should never be ignored.
Hi all, please check out this article I wrote exploring the ways that anthropology can help us understand and tackle housing issues in Canada. Thank you to Arundati Dandapani @itadnura for inviting me to contribute to her blog, Generation1.ca: bit.ly/2m30Z7b
Now more than ever, as inequality rises across the globe, we need to stop criminalizing people for being homeless. There are so many things wrong with this attitude theguardian.com/society/2018/f…
“The greatest shock to the affordable housing system since the Great Recession” therealdeal.com/2018/01/19/why…
Let’s celebrate #NationalHousingDay by educating ourselves about Canada’s affordable housing and homelessness issues. The new #NationalHousingStrategy is a great start, but we all have a duty to be informed and involved (check out homelesshub.ca). #HousingIsAHumanRight

“Unhoused people’s comfort is a moral hazard. If the state provided housing for all who needed it, it would undermine the capitalist dictate that you must work for a wage in order to pay for the basic human need of shelter.” A vital piece by @two__evils: newrepublic.com/article/166383…
Across Canada, shelters, drop-ins and other resources serving people experiencing homelessness are collapsing. Support @CAEHomelessness call for urgent action

New Op Ed out with the brilliant @khulud_b! 👇
Women, queer & trans people are bearing the brunt of Canada's deepening housing crisis. This is a result of housing policy that has consistently failed to incorporate & acknowledge gendered lived experiences. Read more from @khulud_b @KaitlinJSchwan nowtoronto.com/news/op-ed-hou…
I'm not sure how the purchase of apartment buildings by government, so that rents are moderated and tenure is secured, is drastic. Paying more than 50% of income in rent + utilities, as do almost 1 in 5 renter households in Canada, is drastic. Choosing food or rent is drastic.
Residents of Belin voted in favour of expropriating more than 200,000 housing units from the city's largest landlords and transferring them to public ownership. Could such a drastic approach work in Montreal? cbc.ca/1.6201555
$33,000. The approximate per-person cost to evict 60 people living in encampments at parks this summer, press release shows. Toronto could have spent $2 million to house people — instead, it spent that much to evict them from parks, @GraphicMatt #Opinion thestar.com/opinion/contri…

#RentIsDue Sept 1 and 5,000,000 people in Canada are worried about making rent. This election is about housing and we need proven solutions: end homelessness, control rent increases & fund non-profit housing. @votehousingca votehousing.ca/rentisdue
“It’s very sad and distressing to see that kind of action taken against people who are already experiencing a lot of harm and violence in their life due to not being able to claim their basic human right to housing” @EHW_Wpg has better way @cityoftoronto aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
Noticed my ER patient who was being evaluated for chest pain silently crying. “What’s wrong?” I asked, expecting them to say they were worried about their chest pain. (1/)
Security of tenure shouldn't have to be bought. If governments are serious about recognizing housing as a human right, then they should disincentivize making a profit from it. Remove residential real estate from income trusts, and expropriate, expropriate, expropriate.
The notion that housing should be regulated by the market is relatively new. History — and today’s movement to expropriate Berlin’s biggest landlord — shows that public control of the housing sector is possible. jacobinmag.com/2021/05/deutsc…
Could the City of Ottawa also defer property taxes on new affordable housing, or just car dealerships? Asking for a friend.
“Khaleel didn't buy it. How could the city claim to be concerned about these people's well-being, while depriving them of a safe, warm place to spend the winter?” This report makes me so proud to be working for #righttohousing with @CdnHumanRights chrcreport.ca/building-tiny-…
