The Journey to Housing Stability for Survivors of Gender-Based Violence

ACTO’s Your Way Forward report explores survivors’ journeys navigating the housing legal system in Ontario, identifies key barriers they face along their journey, and calls for urgently needed specialized services and policy changes to increase their access to justice and housing stability. 

The Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) is a specialty housing legal clinic that supports and advances the rights of lower income tenants in Ontario. This project is part a wider community legal clinic collaborative called Your Way Forward, with funding from the Department of Justice to expand legal services to better support tenants who have experienced gender-based violence (GBV).
