The Canadian Centre for Housing Rights and CTLabs conducted a research project from 2022-2024 using Saskatoon as a case study to better understand and estimate the scale and scope of hidden homelessness. The findings from our research can help to deepen our collective understanding of the issue, shedding light on the needs, barriers, patterns and solutions to address hidden homelessness.
In this policy brief, we identify specific policy tools that are available to governments at the municipal, provincial, territorial, and federal levels to preserve the dwindling supply of affordable private rental market homes that already exist in Canada.
This toolbox provides a list of practical resources to support your leadership and advocacy work, with tools to increase your understanding of the right to housing in Canada.
