Research from Canada’s largest cities suggests that visible minority groups are at a disadvantage in both the rental and homeownership markets. Over 50% of people and families of colour in Canada live in homes which are inadequate.
It is also common to find neighbourhoods where only people of colour live. This segregation is forced upon them, and it gives way to another form of discrimination based on their address. Can you imagine being discriminated against because of your address, because of your postal code?
