EXPLORING HOMELESSNESS IN SMALL-TO-MID-SIZED AND LARGE CANADIAN CITIES: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CANADIAN HOUSING SURVEY

Most research on homelessness in Canada has been undertaken in large cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.

This talk explores levels of homelessness in small-to-mid-sized Canadian cities (50-500,000) compared to large cities/Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) with populations over 500,000. As part of a larger project which is studying homelessness in 3 mid-sized Ontario cities, which is mainly based on qualitative methods, this research will analyze data from the Canadian Housing Survey for the years 2018 and 2021.
