Impact of Bill 6 and Bill 10

This report explores how Ontario’s Bill 6 & Bill 10 are reshaping housing, but not for the better. The laws framed as public safety measures are in fact:

  1. Criminalizing survival behaviours tied to poverty and homelessness.
  2. Turning tents and encampments into offences rather than symptoms of the systems failure to chronic homelessness.
  3. Deepening discrimination against Indigenous, racialized, and low-income renters.
