Abstract
Abstract Canada has recently enshrined the right to housing in legislation and included a funding target directed towards women-led households. Women’s housing organisations are generally small and looking for ways to scale up while maintaining a care focus. This article describes potential impacts of these recent policy shifts, and how women’s housing perspectives and practices might move from the periphery to the centre of policy-making.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Housing Policy aims to be the leading forum for the critical analysis of housing policy, systems and practice from a social science perspective. It is published quartely. We welcome articles based on policy-relevant research and analysis focused on all parts of the world. We especially encourage papers that contribute to comparative housing analysis, but articles on national or sub-national housing systems are also welcome if they contain data, arguments or policy implications that are relevant to an international audience.
