Tent as Accommodation Ruled Legal | Vancouver News
Description
A Nova Scotia court just overturned a long-standing rule that denied homeless people higher income assistance — because they lived in tents. In the case of Bradley Lowe, who died last December, the Court of Appeal ruled that a tent is legally valid accommodation under provincial law. The decision challenges the previous stance that tents don’t qualify as “housing,” finding instead that the law’s intent is to support those in need — including shelter. This landmark ruling could reshape how unhoused individuals access vital financial aid across the province.
