Our goal: ensuring everyone living in Canada has a place to call home
Housing is about more than just four walls and a roof – it’s about having a place to call home. The place we call home is the foundation on which we build our lives. Having a home is essential to our health and well-being. It allows individuals and families to thrive, children to learn and grow and provides stability and opportunities to succeed.
