		Most people living on social assistance were poorer (in inflation-adjusted terms) in the 1990s than the people living on welfare in the 1980s, according to the National Council of Welfare, a federal government appointed advisory and research group reporting to the Minister of Human Resources.

		When we see Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation signs being flashed around in front of large multimillion dollar developments, it sends a message to the people who need such funding that government is not paying attention to them whether it be factual or not.
		As Canada's national housing agency, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation provides access to mortgage financing for all Canadians regardless of where they live in Canada.
		Even though we know the extent of the involvement is only in relation to the mortgage insurance, it still sends a message to Canada that the government and the agencies that come under it are more concerned with housing for the rich and the well-to-do than they are for the people who really need housing.

		The housing crisis facing poor women in Canada is particularly shocking in light of the fact that Canada is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and remains at the top of the Human Development Index year after year.
		Homelessness is commonly defined very narrowly – life on the streets– and thus, the “housing crises” that increasingly defines the lives of poor women in Canada is absent from policy development and implementation and from media portrayals of the issue.
		The mayors of Canada’s ten largest cities have declared homelessness a “national disaster” and in Toronto each year alone, approximately 30,000 individuals rely on shelters for the homeless.
