The Social Planning and Research Council of Hamilton
(SPRC) is publishing documents over the next few weeks on the rental
housing crisis in Hamilton, where prices keep rising and residents can’t
keep up.
The non-profit has released its first four bulletins as part of a 15-part series.
The reports show quickly rising rental prices that demand a greater
percentage of people’s incomes and how evictions for reasons other than
non-payment further the problem.
