Thank you to BC Non-Profit Housing Association for creating space to discuss the critical role of refugee voices in housing policy at the 2024 #HousingCentral Conference. Nikita Laranjeira, from our BC CHARMS team, moderated the 'Lived Experience' panel, which highlighted the challenges refugee claimants face when accessing safe and affordable housing in BC. The discussion inspired actionable ideas for housing providers and policymakers to address barriers like discrimination and family separation. The stories shared underscored the urgent need for equitable housing policies and practices that address these realities directly. (Photos have been blurred to respect panelists’ privacy.)
