"What really counts is not what the federal government promises in funding but how quickly those commitments are rolled out to the non-market housing sector to become homes for people to feel safe, raise families, and thrive.” -Margaret Pfoh, AHMA CEO ➡️ ahma-bc.org/news-
This is what we need more of, AHMA is glad to be part of this innovation because housing is healthcare and trauma-informed wraparound supports are what’s needed to achieve well-being for those most in need of housing solutions that work long term.

This new housing plan cannot be realized without true reconciliation, which requires sufficient, ongoing funding for URN Indigenous housing. GoC must prioritize the needs of Indigenous people in equitably accessing safe and affordable housing. ➡️ bit.ly/3JERnaB

Right on. Although I’d call the budget changes to Capital Gains a step in the right direction.
This capital gain debate is another distraction. The richest 20% owns 68% of Canada's wealth; the bottom 40% owns 3% (StatCan, Daily, 24-04-17). To change the distribution, we ought to heavily tax land rent - starting with capital gains on principal residences #canpoli
@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
