Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation
CERA was formed in 1987 by a provincial coalition of low-income families. These families had, the year prior, successfully advocated for major changes to Ontario’s Human Rights Code to ensure compliance with the newly enacted provisions of the Charter and to address the problem of homelessness which was escalating in Ontario at that time.
