Precarious Workers & Precarious Housing
This report investigates the current and ongoing challenges the migrant worker community in Edmonton face around homelessness and housing insecurity. Using Participatory Action Research, research team members from AWARE, Migrante-Alberta and York University made sure to involve the migrant worker community throughout the research process by holding research training workshops and by analyzing the data collaboratively. Overall, research team members conducted 22 interviews with migrant workers and 5 interviews with representatives of settlement/faith organizations.
