At Habitat for Humanity, we advocate to change policies and systems at the local and national levels across the country to eliminate barriers to adequate and affordable housing.
Developing affordable housing is part of the solution. But that’s not enough. In addition to building, we have the ability – and, now more than ever, the responsibility – to promote sustainable and inclusive policy solutions, ensuring everyone has access to adequate and affordable housing.
We know we can’t achieve this change alone. Policy advocacy is stronger when we work in partnership with others. Our national networks enable us to work at all levels – including directly with communities housing around the country, in coalition with housing peers and with governments to ensure adequate and affordable housing for all.
Habitat Affiliates work collectively to influence and change policies and systems at all levels of government to ensure that more families can find affordable, quality homes.
This event brings Habitat for Humanity front and centre with Parliamentarians, launches Habitat’s pre-budget advocacy, brings invaluable local experience to federal government relations, and provides government relations capacity building opportunities for affiliates.
An increasing number of Canadians are worried about their ability to afford housing. For the second consecutive year, the Affordable Housing Survey commissioned by Habitat Canada reveals that a lack of affordable housing is a top concern, ranking as the third most pressing issue in the country, following inflation and access to healthcare.
4 in 5 Canadians say homeownership is now a luxury.
Canadians also believe that solutions to the housing crisis exist. They recognize that collaboration is essential, and everyone has a role to play – including governments, financial institutions and investors, home builders, housing providers, and citizens – in addressing this critical issue.
