In addition to the usual challenges of finding affordable, good quality housing that meets their needs, many low-income tenants have trouble maintaining their housing, often because their rents increase sharply or their units are converted to condominiums.
To learn more about this phenomenon, CCPA's Manitoba Office examined three Winnipeg inner city neighbourhoods: West Broadway, Spence and Daniel McIntyre. The first part of the research looks at the quantitative reality of condo conversions and rent increases due to renovations while the second part of the research looks at low-income renters’ housing experiences.

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
