Vancouver housing crisis ‘Code Red’ for young people

CTV News reported on a video campaign by Paul Kershaw a professor at UBC’s school of population and public health.

The “Code Red” campaign by the campaign Generation Squeeze features videos showing a family putting beds for kids in a cabinet, under a desk and in a couch and another woman offering rent to “students” in kitchen cupboards.

“These are massive deteriorations in the standard of living,” Kershaw told CTV News. “We need to take this seriously. It’s urgent, like there’s a code red problem in a hospital.”
