established in 1987 to promote human rights in housing. CERA uses provincial,
national, and international human rights law to help remove the barriers
that keep low income individuals and families from accessing and retaining
the housing they need. We do this through human rights research, law reform
and advocacy, test case litigation and through providing individual assistance
to people who have experienced discrimination related to their housing.
