Submission to the Department of Finance Canada

To end chronic homelessness and help bring renters out of core housing need, significant federal investments in the construction and maintenance of accessible social housing are required. The SHHR organizing committee prepared a submission and requests SHHR supporters to make their own advocating for social housing to be prioritized in the Fall 2026 federal budget.
