Presentation Title: Filling the Gaps: Evictions and Government Policy in Vancouver During COVID-19
This webinar takes a look at the Filling the Gaps Vancouver report, which explores eviction filing data from 2010-2022. Geographic variations in eviction filing and COVID rates and benefits were mapped to identify specific geographic regions in the Metro Vancouver area that were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and evictions and the potential role that government programs played in mitigating evictions during the pandemic.
