About the Project 

This project was completed in 2024.

This project aimed to improve Ukrainian newcomers’ ability to secure and retain long-term housing in rural Alberta. We developed a guidebook that provided resources on various aspects of tenancy and ownership, support for general settlement, and information on topics including healthcare, schooling, and education. 

This project included the development of a secondary guide intended to increase landlord and housing providers’ understanding of the needs of Ukrainian newcomers. It was also designed to enhance their ability to foster positive relationships with diverse tenants to enable stable, long-term tenancies. In addition, it supported collaboration and communication between landlords and other providers of housing.
