According to the poll, eight in ten residents agree than ending homelessness should be an urgent goal in Ottawa. Nine in ten Ottawa residents support or somewhat support building new affordable housing.
Nanos says that almost two in ten residents are worried or somewhat worried about paying their housing costs next month. "Most residents said that if a candidate for municipal council proposed concrete actions to end homelessness and build safe, affordable housing, they would be more likely or somewhat more likely to support these candidates," Nanos said.
