Having a safe and adequate place to live is essential in a child’s development, but affordable housing remains an insurmountable barrier for many families living in poverty. Housing is the single largest expense for low, modest and middle-income families. As the average income for as many as half of Canadians has stagnated, rents have skyrocketed, particularly in urban areas. This has left some families paying very high proportions of their income on rent, with very little left over for food, clothing, transportation, and child care. An alarming 1 in 4 households pay more than 30% of their income on housing – and some much more.
