Housing New Canadians
is a research partnership focused on housing access and discrimination in the Toronto area, where almost half of all newcomers to Canada settle.

The research projects examine:

the nature of the housing search process used by immigrants and refugees,

the quality, adequacy and cost of the housing they obtain,

the degree to which their housing needs are being met, and

the nature and extent of any housing-related discrimination.

The aim is to improve policies, programs and practices.
