Subject: [nhhn-can] FCM releases Quality of Life report on housing and
homelessness

 

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has released its latest Quality of
Life report on deteriorating housing and homelessness conditions in major
Canadian cities. The report notes that in recent years Canada has had no
trouble building lots of new homes. The problem is that a growing number of
Canadians have been priced out of the ownership and rental markets. The
report calls for a major new investment by senior levels of government in
social and affordable housing.

I am at the national homelessness consultation in Ottawa and won't have time
for a thorough review of the FCM document until later today. In the
meantime, you can find the full report at:
