Immigrants, Discrimination, and Homelessness a Longitudinal Study of Homeless Immigrant Families in Toronto
Description:
Objectives: As a nation that welcomes so many immigrants, most of whom settle in large cities, we need to understand the problems that produce family homelessness in general, and homelessness among immigrant and refugee families in particular. A better understanding of the way in which discrimination contributes to homelessness among immigrant and refugee families with children can improve public policy and programs. The proposed study will focus on Toronto, where almost half of all immigrants settle after their arrival in Canada. Our approach will be to follow families as they exit homelessness.
