For 50 years, our Legal Advocacy office has provided support for tenancy issues including unlawful evictions. Last year, our advocates assisted over a thousand clients, including hundreds of renters seeking urgent support to avoid homelessness and other critical tenancy issues. The service providers who support renters in Vancouver face enormous caseloads — indicating a clear and high demand amongst renters for advocacy and support.
“Eviction can lead to homelessness, displacement, financial stress, family separation, and negative health outcomes, as well as specific risks to Indigenous people and other groups” says Dr. Sarah Marsden, director of systems change and legal, who is leading the project. It is demoralizing to be misaligned with our municipal leaders on such an important issue that affects all of us. We hope we’re wrong in the city’s intention.
