Canada urgently needs a national housing plan – millions of Canadians are
calling for one, and the United Nations has added its voice. The best
national housing plan is built from the community up – a plan that
identifies local housing and homelessness needs across the country, and
pinpoints effective local housing and homeless initiatives that deserve
support. Building from the community up allows us to identify the resources
needed to support a comprehensive national housing plan – including funding,
legislation, programs and services. 

 

You can help build a national housing and homelessness plan from the
community up by helping to build a national housing and homelessness map of
Canada. The Wellesley Institute has launched this work and you can find the
map HYPERLINK "http://www.wellesleyinstitute.com/map/map.htm"here. (If your
e-mail doesn’t support links, paste this URL into your browser: <
http://www.wellesleyinstitute.com/map/map.htm >). To start the process,
we’ve seeded the map with a few dozen initiatives from across the country.
Now we’re asking you to add your own information. At the bottom of the page,
you’ll find a link to “add your resource or organization to the Canadian
Housing Map here”. Click on the link and you’ll find a simple on-line form.
Fill out the details and make sure to include a postal code (that’s how the
map stores information).

 

Tell us about an advocacy group that is campaigning to end homelessness
and/or work for better homes; or about a housing or homelessness project, or
a program or service, that is making a difference in your community. There’s
no limit on the number of entries – the map will grow as we hear more from
you. The more information that you can supply, the better, including web
links. Only one item per form, but submit as many different forms as you
like.

 

Join the campaign to build a national housing plan from the community up by
adding your housing and homelessness info to the national map!
