BCNPHA research has investigated a wide range of issues related to affordable housing. Our goal is to advance the cause of affordable housing and, in the process, support non-profit housing providers and inform public policy that will help ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.
Our research papers have explored densification and transportation, housing options for seniors and people with developmental disabilities, staffing issues in the sector, systemic barriers in housing for women leaving violent relationships, addressing homelessness, and much more.
