New topic looks at housing access and affordability in Vancouver
Share
PlaceSpeak is excited to be working with UBC’s Housing Justice Project on our newest topic.
Many of us live in housing conditions that are less than ideal—paying more than we can afford for housing that fails to meet our needs for a safe, healthy and adequate home. The Housing Justice Project—a UBC/Community initiative—is seeking input on the housing experiences of residents in Metro Vancouver.
Get Involved
They want to hear from you, so they are launching a survey at PlaceSpeak. To take the survey please visit:
www.placespeak.com/HousingJustice
The survey will give researchers and community activists a clearer understanding of how issues of housing cost and quality affect individuals across the metro region. It will help in the development of better affordable housing policies and strategies.
Please go online to do the survey and help the project by encouraging others to also do the survey.
