Key Challenges and Responses

Housing

First, the Canadian housing crisis has contributed to longer stays for refugees in hotels and temporary accommodations. Government-assisted refugees are also experiencing difficulties in obtaining affordable, accessible, and appropriate permanent housing. IRCC recognizes that long stays in hotels are problematic for Afghan families (for both their integration and overall well-being); it also places pressure on the service providers who are on the front line supporting these clients daily. Prolonged hotel stays are also costly for the Department.
