Abstract

We present the results of a randomized controlled survey experiment involving 1508 Canadians using hypothetical vignettes of homelessness experiences, allowing us to examine the extent to which Canadians who live in large urban centres hold different attitudes towards homeless populations and may differ systematically in terms of supporting expanding homelessness investments. The findings point to differences not only among major urban centres, but also along urban-suburban-rural dimensions, which help us understand the place-based drivers of political will and policy responses across the Canadian urban and regional context.
