Rooming Houses Community Update

Abstract

In May 2014, five concerned organizations partnered to talk about the state of Rooming Houses in Winnipeg's Inner-City. Together we released two reports: Winnipeg's Vanishing Rooming Houses and Rooming Houses to Rooming Homes. These reports found that rooming houses were vanishing due to market pressures, neighbourhood change, fires, and uncoordinated policy and regulatory frameworks.
