HOUSING CRISIS
LETS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
NO VACANCY
MAKING PEACE VIGIL EVERY THURSDAY 6 KEY FACTS until breaks out
1. Reginas rental vacancy rate is 1.8%. A healthy vacancy rate is 3%. 2. In 2010, the last year for which figures are available, over 3,400 people used Reginas shelter services. 3. Many others double bunked, couch surfed, or lived in overcrowded unhealthy conditions. Some even lived in cars or garages. These latter groups could easily double the number of homeless people in Regina. 4. Today, the citys shelter system is filled to capacity. 5. The average monthly rent for a one bedroom apartment in Regina is $875. A full-time minimum wage worker, earning $1,736 per month cannot afford it. Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation defines affordable housing as costing a household 30% or less of its beforetax income. 6. A significant amount of rental housing in Regina is below acceptable standards.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
