When Law Creates Homelessness: Saskatchewan Law Professor, Sarah Beuhler.
Sarah Buhler, law professor and housing researcher, joins us to explore how eviction law, landlord power, and financialized housing are shaping the homelessness crisis in Saskatchewan. Drawing on data, case reviews, and community insights, Sarah unpacks the systems and legal frameworks that are failing our most vulnerable tenants—and what needs to change.
🔥 Key topics include:
• What “legal unhousing” looks like in practice
• Why tenants lose 90% of eviction hearings
• How corporate landlords move faster to evict
• The gap between housing as a right—and housing in reality
• Barriers to justice for people with trauma, low literacy, or no phone access
• Why involving lived experience in policymaking is not optional
