Living with your parents. Living with your ex. Giving up basic needs like food and clothing. These sacrifices are made by Canadians struggling to afford rent amidst the housing crisis. Demand exceeds supply, with less than 1% of rentals being both available and affordable.
Karen Charmbury, a single mom in Kingston, gives her full income to rent, selling her house post-divorce. She pays $2,679/month, relying on investments, child support, family, and friends. The stress is overwhelming, pushing her to seek a second job to make ends meet.
