Every year on November 22, National Housing Day highlights the critical issues of housing and homelessness in Canada. It’s a time to reflect on progress, celebrate the people driving change and commit to the work ahead.
Watch a special National Housing Day message from Coleen Volk, CMHC’s President & CEO.

Speaker: Coleen Volk, President and Chief Executive
Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. On National Housing Day, we shine a light on the challenges many Canadians face in finding that home.
[00:00:14] Visual: A nail gun firing into a wood floor. An electric saw cutting a plank. A labourer installing drywall.
And we also celebrate the incredible work happening across the housing sector to address those challenges.
[00:00:21] Visual: Two modular homes with plywood-covered windows sit in a field of yellow wildflowers. A truck transports another modular home through the countryside. Two young men install a soffit. A team of labourers builds a house on a forest lot. The sun shines on rows of newly built homes.
Home is more than a roof over our heads. It is a community built by people who care, collaborate and ensure no one is left behind.
[00:00:31] Visual: Coleen Volk sits in the studio.
To our many housing partners across the country, thank you.
[00:00:35] Visual: A young mother plays with her child on the dining-room floor. A young family poses outside a newly built home.
Your dedication and compassion are helping build a more inclusive and resilient Canada.

Join us as we continue to rise to the housing challenges of today and work together to shape a better tomorrow.
[00:00:49] Visual: The outline of a house rises on a red-blue background. White text reads Let’s Work Together, #NationalHousingDay above the Canada wordmark and the CMHC logo.
Meeting the housing needs of Canadians is a shared responsibility. National Housing Day calls on governments, communities, developers, non-profits, Indigenous organizations and other partners to unite in creating innovative and impactful solutions.
An "all-hands-on-deck" approach is essential to addressing the housing and homelessness crisis.
National Housing Day is about more than raising awareness. It is a call to action.
