Student Support for Housing Programming

North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) serves the community within the geographic area north of the CP tracks, south of Carruthers Avenue., east of McPhillips Street, and west of the Red River. The mandate of the corporation is to promote the social, economic, and cultural renewal of the North End of Winnipeg. It does this by improving the quality and accessibility of housing, creating jobs, upgrading commercial and industrial areas, implementing employment development programs, improving the overall image of the community, and through crime reduction initiatives. Some of the challenges that the organization is facing revolve around their housing programming. Challenges such as making sure tenants know their rights, that members of the community are well-equipped with the right documentation to apply for housing, and working on decreasing eviction rates. The deliverable will be to complete a project under one of the program areas. In consultation between the supervisor and student, the project will be developed with sensitivity to the current COVID-19 public health guidelines. Examples of projects could include organizing and running an online workshop series, completing a data analysis project, or completing a neighbourhood housing audit.
