The Financialization of Purpose-Built Rental Housing report by DAWN Canada addresses the significant challenges women, girls, and gender-diverse people with disabilities face in accessing affordable, accessible, and safe housing. The report highlights the systemic barriers exacerbated by the financialization of housing and the housing affordability crisis, which disproportionately impact marginalized communities. It also examines the intersection of housing with gender-based violence, renovictions, and inadequate housing stock for people with disabilities.

In this brief, DAWN Canada highlights that mental health is a critical issue for young women and girls, particularly those from racialized and marginalized communities, who face stigma, disparities in treatment, and barriers to accessing resources. The dominant Eurocentric, bio-medical model fails to account for cultural differences and systemic inequalities, further disadvantaging these vulnerable groups.
