Rapid re-housing is the process of immediately removing families out of homelessness and into permanent housing by aiding in
I will hope to explore the wider benefits and the secondary effects of the policy by utilising two case studies that explore the role of two CLOs in two disparate regions of the United Kingdom and how their operations utilised the Empty Housing Community Grant Programme (EHCGP) to achieve their own community goals.

In “New Axioms for Reading the Landscape: Paying Attention to Political Economy and Social Justice,” Don Mitchell incorporates old ideas from Peirce F. Lewis’s original “Axioms for Reading the Landscape.” At the same time, Mitchell includes new ideas into his axioms.

Most surface level studies suggest that Black and Indigenous peoples suffer the most from discriminations when seeking housing across Canada (Dion 532). Housing discrimination is largely due to conflict theory where access to power is unequal across races and
