National Occupancy Standards and Housing Women After Violence Research Project

The research conducted will result in a policy analysis, policy recommendations and knowledge translation materials on the National Occupancy Standards and their unintended barriers to housing for women experience violence. This research will be gathered through stakeholder engagement, an environmental scan, and qualitative data gathering (interviews or focus groups) to determine the key issues, the relevant research on this topic, and the ideas and perspectives of service providers dealing with the policy. By shedding light on this issue, our hope is that policy changes can be implement and housing options can become more available for women experiencing violence.
