Solving the housing crisis is going to take cross-sector collaboration. That's why we're co-hosting a summit with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities bringing together leaders from multiple economic sectors to explore the links between a strong Canadian economy and housing affordability, find solutions, make connections, and identify actions.

We're looking forward to Housing: The Health and Economic Dividend with speakers Dr. Andrew Boozary of the Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine at the University Health Network, Sean Baird of Toronto Community Housing, Dr. Vera Etches of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and Dr. Eric Latimer of McGill University 's Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry.

The Action Plan focuses on supporting communities, strengthening rights and protections, advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Two-Spirit and 2SLGBTQI+ people, fostering inclusion, improving knowledge and research, and ensuring these considerations are reflected across government programs and policies.
