Harris Institute does not offer housing or have any affiliation with any housing authority. There are many options and methods to searching for a place to live in Toronto. Toronto has one of the lowest vacancy rates in Canada. (less than 2%) Realistically, if you are from out of town, it can take a few days to find housing. The worst time to look for housing is in August or September due to the influx of University and College students starting or returning to school. We can recommend a few options and places to look; please see our Web site under 'Registration', then 'Living', for more information.
