Finding Room is the first Canadian book to focus solely on the question of how to provide affordable rental housing for low-income households.
Two dozen authors — from business leaders to university researchers to representatives of the Aboriginal community — address this question.
The contributors offer analyses of the economics of low-rental housing; commentary on the relationship between housing and human rights; social perspectives on the lives and health of low-income renters; overviews of how the current system developed; suggestions for housing innovations; recommendations for all levels of government; and insights into the roles of public, private, and non-profit sectors.
Finding Room is intended to inform discussions of policy options for affordable housing by providing information and analysis from experts in the topic. The contributions suggest a growing consensus about the need for certain policy changes, although several controversial areas remain.
The book is a resource for community leaders, policy makers, researchers, and students. It includes a glossary, key documents relating to housing rights in Canada, and background on the economic and political context written in non-academic language.
