Report

Forum on Housing and the Mobile Workforce in Newfoundland and Labrador

This report, which draws on a multi-partner forum held in St. John’s, NL, April 2015, discusses housing-related pressures for NL communities in the context of employment-related geographical mobility (E-RGM) as well as the impacts of the economic downturn on housing and labour markets. The report is divided in 2 sections. Section A offers a background to the forum. It includes literature review of E-RGM and housing-related impacts within and outside of Canada and NL and print media review on how E-RGM has impacted housing in the province. It also includes preliminary findings from the On the Move Partnership as justification for the need to better understand the impact of E-RGM on housing in the context of NL. Section B offers a summary of findings from the housing forum itself. It follows three key themes: 1) Housing market trends: construction, real estate, rentals and renovations; 2) Affordable housing and housing affordability for mobile workers and in communities affected by employment-related geographical mobility; and 3) Community experiences, implications for planning and policy.
