Research Assistant - Homelessness Prevention Gender Policy Brief

The McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy is looking for a research assistant for the development of a policy brief for the Gender Working Group of the Quebec Homelessness Prevention Policy Collaborative (Q-HPPC). The brief will involve a comparative analysis of selected jurisdictions that have a right to adequate housing in their constitutions, in legislation, and/or comprehensive policy frameworks. Canada has largely failed to address the right to adequate housing, despite several decades of policy and program initiatives, especially for vulnerable groups. Because of their vulnerable status, women who are fleeing domestic/conjugal violence and intimate partner violence, either alone, or with their children, are designated priority groups under Canada‘s national housing strategy and there is now right-to-housing legislation at the federal level. There is no comparable protection under Quebec law.
