Canada has run out of apartments. We need to build more. Learn more.
Working together for affordable housing
Canada is facing the worst housing supply and affordability crisis in a generation. Canadian rental housing providers for affordable housing is a coalition dedicated to working with governments and civil society to address this challenge.
Canada simply isn’t building enough homes to keep up with demand. That is making housing less affordable for more and more Canadians.
Meeting this historic challenge will require an all-hands-on-deck approach with governments, civil society and the private sector working together collaboratively, each doing their part.
As some of the largest owners and managers of affordable market rentals in Canada, we have insights into what is needed to deliver the affordable housing Canada needs, and the homes Canadians want.
