The Budget / Stimulus package needs to include significant new money for a National Affordable Housing Strategy including social housing.  As well as a national fund to provide resources to Provinces and Municipalities to repair their existing social housing stock.

This will accomplish three key goals; Creating new living wage jobs to stimulate the economy, improving the quality of the existing social housing infrastructure and building much needed new affordable housing. 

Currently as many as 1.5 million Canadians are experiencing core housing need, meaning that they are under-housed or face an unsustainable financial burden to maintain their current housing situation (CMHC).
