Report on highest rent prices in Canada shines light on struggle families in Barrie Ont., face
Empower Simcoe is a multi-service, charitable, non-profit organization that leads the housing first program in Simcoe County, helping families who are at risk of losing their homes find housing.Cousins said they have received at least 4,300 calls from people in Barrie regarding housing over the last year.
When asked what she thought led to the high costs, Cousins said a lack of “attainable housing” was a big factor. “They’re being squeezed out of the market just as much as someone who is on ODSP or OW. So they are also at risk of being homeless because they cannot use the amounts that they make in order to find housing,” Cousins said.
