Housing Policy Options for Women Living in Urban Poverty: An Action Research Project in Three Canadian Cities
Description:
This research report documents the housing concerns of women who live on low incomes in Victoria, Regina and Saint John, and proposes housing policy options for urban policy makers to consider in addressing these concerns. The report summarizes the results of the three methods of gender-based analysis used in this policy-oriented action research project funded by Status of Women Canada. We used three methods: a qualitative community-based assessment of housing needs and policy gaps undertaken in Greater Victoria, an analysis of selected municiple and regional policy documents undertaken in the capital region of southern Vancouver Island and a statistical analysis of previously unpublished 1996 Census data relating to women, poverty and housing in the three cities. Each method was designed to inform the process of developing creative and doable urban housing policy options for women living in poverty in medium-sized Canadian cities.; (abstract from the document)
