Final report for the survey of tenants leaving public housing / submitted by Ekos Research Associates Inc.: NH15-604/1991E-PDF

"This survey of tenants leaving public housing examines the extent to which former public housing tenants access the private housing market, either as renters or homeowners. Data were collected from households leaving family public housing projects between November, 1990 and February, 1991 in six participating provinces: Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan. The results of the study indicate that a large majority (67 per cent) of households leaving public housing will enter the private, non-subsidized housing market: 12 per cent as homeowners and 55 per cent as renters. Just 17 per cent of all leaving households will remain in subsidized housing, with the other 16 per cent entering into some other arrangement such as moving in with a parent or friend. The average monthly shelter costs for former public housing tenants will be almost 50 per cent higher in their new dwellings: $497 compared to $336. The sociodemographic characteristics of households leaving public housing are similar to those of the overall tenant population"--Abstract.
