Summary of Finding housing for government-assisted refugee in Canadian cities: process, governance, and challenges
Finding stable housing is a pivotal step in the resettlement process. However, the rental market is elusive and expensive and the welfare system cannot adequately fill this gap.

What is needed is incentivising/requiring rehabilitation and new construction rental projects in all income segments to incorporate wider variety of housing units.
