Rental housing types and economic wellbeing in Canada
Rental Housing Type and Self-Reported General Health and Mental Health Status
Using the Canadian Housing Survey, 2018-2019, we examined self-reported general and mental health among tenants residing in various housing types, including cooperative, non-profit, government, and private housing. Adjusting for confounders, we discovered that tenants in not-for-profit housing reported the highest odds, over four and half times (odds ratio 4.63), of poor general health compared to tenants in privately owned housing in Canada. On …
Housing as a human right, rent supplements and the new Canada Housing Benefit
Demand-side' approaches to housing affordability—including rent supplements and housing allowances—are used to address housing precarity in many countries. A core program of Canada's new National Housing Strategy is the Canada Housing Benefit (CHB), an allowance co-designed and co-funded by provinces and territories alongside the federal government. We explore the implementation of the CHB in one province (Nova Scotia) through the experiences of …
Promoting Emergency Response for Homeless Service Agencies
The fast unfolding of the global COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the homeless sector by triggering tremendous challenges for individuals experiencing homelessness (IEHs) and related service agencies. This quick-response research project qualitatively collected time-sensitive data from the IEHs and service stakeholders (SSs) experiences, challenges, efforts, and suggestions during the first wave of COVID-19 in the two most popula…
Pandemic precarity and everyday disparity
We identify key issues for housing researchers, practitioners, and advocates working in the United States and Canada to consider, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and far beyond. First, we draw upon feminist and intersectional literatures on gendered inequalities and social structures, which provide the often forgotten or overlooked context for women’s experiences in housing. This includes the broader insight that too frequently, women have not …
Sense of community belonging
We explore the extent to which housing quality, safety, and hardship paying rent are associated with sense of community belonging among renters. Data were collected in Nova Scotia, Canada via a random sample of households (n = 374) living in subsidized and market-based rentals. Hardship paying rent and feeling "unsafe/somewhat unsafe" are associated with a lower likelihood of community belonging, while housing quality is not. Older age, time livi…
Distinctions Between Non-profit, For-profit, and Public Providers
Although various organizational forms are involved in the critically important role of providing rental housing, little is known about their potentially distinctive characteristics. Calling upon unique data collected from landlords and tenants of for-profit, non-profit, and public rental housing in Canada ( N = 5624 units; N = 492 tenants), we explore shelter costs paid by tenants, quality, and unit accessibility. Findings point to some unique fe…
Housing Tenure and Neighbourhood Social Capital
Prior research finds a positive association between social capital and community well-being, ranging from decreased crime to greater local economic development and resiliency. Using a nationally representative sample from Canada, this study explores the specific impact of housing tenure (homeownership vs. renting) on three forms of neighbourhood social capital: bonding (trust, exchanges among neighbours and sense of belonging to one’s community),…
Volunteer roles and the benefits of volunteering
This article explores if, and to what degree, being involved in different kinds of volunteer tasks in nonprofit housing cooperatives affects the development of one’s capabilities, social ties, and ability to influence the housing in which one lives. A unique data-set based on an evaluation of cooperative housing programs was used, and data were analyzed using logistic regression. Serving on the board of directors, organizing social events, and as…
Exploring Organizational Form in the Affordable Rental Housing Sector
The nature and benefits of different kinds of affordable rental housing providers, and particularly for-profit housing developers, have been contested by practitioners and scholars. We contribute to this debate by exploring whether the missions, the resources harnessed to build housing, the human resources, and the involvement of residents in decision-making differ based on organizational form. Using case study design, we examine two third sector…
Making Space for Graduate Student Parents
Work-family issues of graduate students are nearly invisible, despite record numbers of men and women in graduate school during their peak childbearing years. Furthermore, very little is known about what, if any, services are available for graduate student parents. In this article we describe the theoretical and practical tensions between society's view of idealized mothering and academia's vision of graduate students as idealized workers. We the…
