Homelessness and Hidden Homelessness in Rural and Northern Ontario is the first study of its kind to empirically challenge these popular perceptions. In fact, as the analysis of data from the recent Canadian Social Survey demonstrates, compared to city dwellers, a higher percentage of people from rural Ontario reported that they had experienced homelessness or hidden homelessness at some point in their lives. The research carried out for this report was based on a survey of service providers (with responses from 204 service providers and 30 service managers), focus groups (with 76 key sector stakeholders), and interviews (with 40 people who had experience of homelessness or hidden homelessness) in 10 communities in northwestern, northeastern, southwestern, and southeastern Ontario. This was augmented by an analysis of Ontario data from Canada’s General Social Survey. The causes of homelessness in rural and northern Ontario were found to be similar to those in big cities: poverty, mental illness and addictions, lack of affordable housing and domestic violence. The study also revealed that many Indigenous peoples are at risk of homelessness and hidden homelessness, particularly those living in northern areas of the province.
