Abstract
ABSTRACTWe explore the extent to which housing quality, safety, and hardship paying rent are associated with sense of community belonging among renters. Data were collected in Nova Scotia, Canada via a random sample of households (n = 374) living in subsidized and market-based rentals. Hardship paying rent and feeling “unsafe/somewhat unsafe” are associated with a lower likelihood of community belonging, while housing quality is not. Older age, time living in the community, and smaller population size are associated with an increased likelihood of sense of community belonging. Results offer support for enhanced safety and shelter cost assistance among renter households.
