News: A new report finds Canada is missing 4.4M affordable homes. Using a new approach, the figures include often overlooked groups & their circumstances. This #HumanRights lens shows more accurately what kind of supply 🇨🇦 needs to end the housing crisis: bit.ly/3MsFiGW
Steve Pomeroy: "Canada is losing eleven lower rent affordable homes for every one home added." @CHEC_CCRL @CMHC_ca @FCM_online @UrbanHealthProf
New data reveals that in that in the last 4 years, landlords have only been fined 11 times for a bad-faith eviction. Many say this figure is "staggeringly low and reflects a failure by the province to protect tenants." cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
