Speak up for Housing
Elections are an opportunity to make our individual voices heard in our local communities. We know poverty and housing are of concern to growing numbers of Canadians. Politicians will act on housing needs when public demand is great enough. Some opposition parties have a housing policy in their election platform. However it won’t likely be high on the list of the issues candidates campaign on. So it’s up to us speak up for housing, telling the politicians what we want and helping to build public support. We’re suggesting you ask this question:
Will you and your party take action on a coordinated, national, affordable housing plan that includes a commitment to long-term funding in order to address the growing housing needs of Canadians? If elected, what will you personally do to further government action on housing?
