The study from Choices for Youth (CFY) and Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador (MNL) looked at 11 communities across the province to better understand rural housing needs. The study found that, in eight of the communities, one-third of renters were living in unaffordable housing and that, since 2019, there has been a ten-fold increase in emergency shelter use in areas beyond the Avalon Peninsula.
