When the world shut down in 2020, international student Sasha had nowhere to go. Racing against the ticking clock of her university residence shutting down, Sasha and her friends rushed to find housing in the GTA. Little did they know the nightmare they were diving into. On this episode of Homelessness in Hiding: Our Youth Between the Cracks, we’ll hear Sasha’s story of renting in the GTA as an international student. Her experiences expose the tricky landscape of unlawful deposits, awful maintenance, and, in her words, the practice of social law versus legal law. Want to Volunteer?
