Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The design of Canadian housing allowances is closely linked to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's 30% affordability standard, and to the actual rent paid by recipients. Yet the absence of federal funding has helped keep these programmes small. This chapter begins by putting the relative stagnation of these programmes over the last decade in the context of a virtual halt to new social housing expenditure in Canada and the expansion of quasi-universal child benefits. It explains the role and design of allowances, and examines the impact of housing allowances. Currently the housing policy in Canada is in a state of ferment, as the federal government edges back into the arena and the provinces start to recover from the ravages of the recession in the 1990s and federal cuts to its transfers to them. The final section of this chapter provides some concluding remarks.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
