Small Cities, Big Issues by Christopher Walmsley,Terry Kading Pdf

Small Canadian cities confront serious social issues as a result of the neoliberal economic restructuring practiced by both federal and provincial governments since the 1980s. Drastic spending reductions and ongoing restraint in social assistance, income supports, and the provision of affordable housing, combined with the offloading of social responsibilities onto municipalities, has contributed to the generalization of social issues once chiefly associated with Canada’s largest urban centres. As the investigations in this volume illustrate, while some communities responded to these issues with inclusionary and progressive actions others were more exclusionary and reactive—revealing forms of discrimination, exclusion, and “othering” in the implementation of practices and policies. Importantly, however their investigations reveal a broad range of responses to the social issues they face. No matter the process and results of the proposed solutions, what the contributors uncovered were distinctive attributes of the small city as it struggles to confront increasingly complex social issues. If local governments accept a social agenda as part of its responsibilities, the contributors to Small Cities, Big Issues believe that small cities can succeed in reconceiving community based on the ideals of acceptance, accommodation, and inclusion.

Make Housing Central by Kishone Roy Pdf

"Rapidly surging house prices, historically low rental vacancies, long waitlists for social housing, and a massive homelessness epidemic - all these have led to many British Columbians feeling trapped in their current housing situation. In Make Housing Central, Kishone Roy, CEO of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association, tells the story of the affordable housing crisis in B.C. and proposes a realistic long-term plan to solve it. Using personal stories, data, and a look inside the non-profit housing sector, Roy shows in vivid detail how British Columbians in many different situations are coping with the crisis. This digestible read helps makes sense of the most pressing issue facing our province - and shows that inaction will be more costly than action."--

Building Capacity by Laura Climenko Johnson,Allison Ruddock,Canada. Status of Women Canada. Policy Research Pdf

This study examines whether affordable housing development & provision can be used to increase skill levels & employability for low-income women. It first reviews the literature relating housing & employment to increased self-sufficiency and presents an inventory of international & Canadian initiatives that combine housing & employment, arranged by cases according to the following categories: housing as a stable environment for supportive services; job training or employment in housing rehabilitation, management, or related services; and job training & housing assistance as part of comprehensive community revitalization. From the Canadian initiatives, ten case studies are studied in more depth. The studies use qualitative research involving personal interviews with program managers & residents who had participated in housing-based employment support programs. The case study data are supplemented with data from focus groups of social housing residents, housing providers, and representatives from organizations working with women's employment & training programs. Findings from the interviews & focus groups are presented and overall conclusions are reached based on the data collected.

No Home in a Homeland by Julia Christensen Pdf

The Dene, a traditionally nomadic people, have no word for homelessness, a rare condition in the Canadian North prior to the 1990s. Julia Christensen documents the rise of Indigenous homelessness and proposes solutions by interweaving analysis of the region’s unique history with personal narratives of homeless men and women in two cities – Yellowknife and Inuvik. What emerges is a larger story of displacement and intergenerational trauma, hope and renewal. Understanding what it means to be homeless in the North and how Indigenous people think about home and homemaking is the first step, Christensen argues, on the path to decolonizing existing approaches and practices.
