Video testimonies: the honest truth about renting to refugees
We invite you to listen to the voices of the hosts and landlords of Vancouver Island who shared their experience of hosting and renting to refugees. The stories were collected as a part of the Refugee Readiness Project to share the honest lived experiences of a diverse group of hosts and landlords as they opened their homes to refugees.
The videos were made by GVLIP in collaboration with the Refugee Readiness Team – Vancouver Island.
