Episode Synopsis

June 11, 2020 @ 5pm, YVHA will be joined by guests Derya Tarhan, Joy Connelly, and personal friend of ours, Matt Huff-Deleuze who was also a fellow villager at York. The podcast will focus primarily on research surrounding rooming houses off-campus, and the role precariousness plays in housing. The topics will be focused on the City of Toronto’s role in student housing, and the external social, economic, and political factors that contribute to the rise of precarious housing and living conditions. In the context of student housing, different scenario developments will be overviewed to address the current problems associated with multi-tenant housing in the City of Toronto. Additionally, we will explore what steps can be taken for students experiencing precarious housing conditions at York University, and how the City is responding to help students.
