Fantastic piece by Jeremy Withers in support of the @CERAOntario and National Right to Housing Network proposal for a Federal Residential Tenant Support Benefit! #Right2Housing

Last night I heard the disturbing news that 12 families that had been living at 2419 Keele St in our community received an N13 notice within days of their building being bought by a new landlord. Displacing decent and hard working tenants is unacceptable and wrong. #ysw #onpoli

Thank you for your leadership on this incredibly important issue! #Right2Housing

To address anti-Black racism in housing, governments must take some basic steps:

🔹 Increased investment in resources & support for Black housing seekers

🔹Better data collection on discrimination & racism experienced by Black housing seekers

#BlackHistoryMonth #Right2Housing

Systemic racism has prevented many Black renters from accessing housing and has also meant that Black communities have been shut out of entire parts of the city.

Acknowledging & remedying this is crucial to advance the #Right2Housing .

It is common for Black renters to face additional questions & inquiries from housing providers due to discriminatory stereotypes, worsening housing insecurity for Black households in an already competitive rental market.

Our 2009 study 'Sorry, it's rented' about discrimination in housing found that 1 in 4 single parents who were Black experienced discrimination when searching for rental housing. 11 years later, this is still common.
