Margaret Forbes

Manager Housing Policy and Research

Margaret is the Manager of Research and Policy at SHS. Margaret is a passionate ally for those seeking equity and a long time advocate for equitable access to income, housing and food security. Margaret has brought her collaborative, person-centered, problem-solving approach to her leadership and consulting roles in a number of community sectors, and as a result has a deep understanding and awareness of the strengths, issues, and challenges of those seeking equity she can bring to a project.

Margaret is adept at mixed method research and enjoys bringing the conversations she hears through engagement processes to life within reports. When Margaret is not working she can be found hiking trails and paddling in her kayak, or creating art in her pottery studio.

Land Acknowledgement • At SHS we acknowledge the lands we are on are the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples and are now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that the location of our office in Toronto is covered by Treaty 13. In our work, we strive to continually reflect on our relationship to the land we are currently inhabiting and how our role as actors in the housing system can support the reconciliation process.
