CERA is an Ontario-based non-profit organization established to promote human rights in housing. Our staff and volunteers work with low income and other disadvantaged households to challenge discriminatory practices in the rental housing market, and to help these individuals and families access and retain the housing they need. We do this through directly assisting individuals experiencing discrimination, representing human rights claimants at the Ontario Human Rights Commission, public education, research, and test case litigation related to poverty, housing and human rights. CERA is the only organization in Canada that focuses on fighting discrimination in housing and using human rights legislation to challenge housing insecurity and homelessness. All of our services are free. CERA is sustained through project funding and direct fundraising. We receive no core funding.
