November ushered in some significant housing policy developments. We’ve distilled what you need to know. Read our full news round-up: housingrightscanada.com/housing-policy… #CDNpoli

Housing is a human right, yet rent gouging is legal everywhere in Canada. This cannot be our norm. Our provincial & territorial gov'ts need to commit to strengthening rent regulations to protect renters' rights to live in #SecureHomes. Take action: housingrightscanada.com/secure-homes/

This is unacceptable and cannot continue. Renters in Nova Scotia and across Canada deserve to live in #SecureHomes. We need our provincial and territorial gov'ts to take action by implementing strong rent regulation. Send a letter to your Premier⬇️ housingrightscanada.com/secure-homes/ 2/2

Rental housing costs are rising faster in Nova Scotia than any time since publicly available data collection began in 1979. The province's rent inflation rate is currently the highest in Canada at 14.1%. 1/2 cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

‼️ #DomesticViolence is a central issue that contributes to housing precarity for gender-diverse people. Gender-diverse people, in particular, are denied justice and resolution to concerns for their dignity, wellbeing and safety. Learn More: loom.ly/Ypaxxis #16Days

Renters across Canada are in crisis and lack basic legal protections needed to live in #SecureHomes. This includes disabled renters. Join us and @HousingRightsCA in calling on our provincial government to implement strong rent regulation! Send a letter now:tinyurl.com/bdh8xfhx

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive problem in Canada, and in many cases, survivors are faced with housing insecurity when they leave. Currently, a knowledge gap exists in understanding the relationship between GBV & housing insecurity. 🧵1/3 housingrightscanada.com/nowhere-to-go-…

Yesterday during #HousingOnTheHill, the Federal Housing Advocate called on all political leaders to rally around non-market housing. @CHRA_ACHRU twitter.com/SullivanRay/st…

Our gov'ts withdrawal from their role in regulating & investing in housing from the 1980s has directly contributed to the current affordable housing crisis & surge in homelessness rates. It's high time for them to step up. Learn more⬇️ housingrightscanada.com/canadas-renter…
