註釋
This study examines whether affordable housing development & provision can be used to increase skill levels & employability for low-income women. It first reviews the literature relating housing & employment to increased self-sufficiency and presents an inventory of international & Canadian initiatives that combine housing & employment, arranged by cases according to the following categories: housing as a stable environment for supportive services; job training or employment in housing rehabilitation, management, or related services; and job training & housing assistance as part of comprehensive community revitalization. From the Canadian initiatives, ten case studies are studied in more depth. The studies use qualitative research involving personal interviews with program managers & residents who had participated in housing-based employment support programs. The case study data are supplemented with data from focus groups of social housing residents, housing providers, and representatives from organizations working with women's employment & training programs. Findings from the interviews & focus groups are presented and overall conclusions are reached based on the data collected.
