Addressing Canada's Housing Crisis

This chapter examines the historical shifts in Canadian federal housing policy and the need for a cohesive definition of housing needs across governmental levels. It discusses the shortcomings of the National Housing Strategy and emphasizes the importance of coordinated efforts among federal, provincial, and municipal authorities to tackle affordable housing shortages. By exploring successful housing initiatives from other countries, the chapter argues for a holistic approach to housing policy that integrates various governmental roles and adapts to modern challenges.
