The Impact of Evictions on Youth **
Youth are particularly vulnerable to discrimination and exploitation when they are renters, and this disadvantage is profoundly intersectional. For example, youth report difficulty accessing affordable and decent rental housing due to age and income-based discrimination.
Youth are also among the groups most likely to experience eviction from rental housing, with Indigenous, newcomer, LGBTQ2S+ youth, youth with disabilities or who are single parents, and youth who have been involved with the child welfare system facing the highest risk of eviction (Gaetz et al, 2018; Youngbloom et al, 2022). In other words, the risk of eviction rises along with vulnerability and layers of systemic disadvantage.
