SUMMARY:GEM Seminar Series
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Making a home in Waterloo: international student famili
 es and\nhousing insecurity\n\nSPEAKER: Dr. Nancy Worth\, with Dr. Alkim K
 araagac\n\nLOCATION: EV3 1408\n\nOur two-year case study in Waterloo\, Ont
 ario—a city known for its\npurpose-built student housing—reveals that 
 international student\nfamilies face distinct challenges in the local hous
 ing market. While\nall students contend with high housing costs\, families
  struggle to\nfind suitable accommodations in a market dominated by single
 -student\nunits. International student families must also navigate unfamil
 iar\nrental processes with limited institutional support\, as higher\neduc
 ation institutions typically consider off-campus housing beyond\ntheir rem
 it. Although international students are often blamed for\nhousing affordab
 ility issues\, our findings indicate they are among the\nhousing crisis’
  most vulnerable groups.
