Little is known about the scale and scope of the deeply affordable housing stock that remains in Canada.
We’re working with @purposeanalytix to address this gap by centralizing data in a new app: the Low-end of Market Rental Housing Monitor.

An important story. The lack of data transparency in this country is a huge problem that keeps many other stories like this out of public view.

Today, we're launching with eight public interest databases that will be updated in real-time. These databases are just the beginning. With your support, we will roll out dozens of public interest databases in the coming years.
Great to see investment in data literacy for small- to medium-sized businesses, but notable that similar supports are not available at scale for the non-profit and charitable sectors.
Borrowing from @PatrickNGill's pithy quote: not every non-profit has a data scientist on staff

One of our favourite features in our new CensusAggregator tool is the ability to share a selected region with others.
