The Centre for Urban and Community Studies at the Cities Centre,  University of Toronto is pleased to announce the launch of its report,  Better Off in a Shelter? A Year of Homelessness and Housing for  Immigrant, Non-Status, and Canadian-born Mothers. The study, the first  of its kind in Canada, followed 91 mothers in homeless shelters over  the course of one year as they coped with homelessness and sought new  homes for their families. The study’s results reveal the complex  causes and effects of homelessness for families with children, and the  ways in which these differ between women who are Canadian-born,  immigrant women with status, and migrant women without status.
