Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.
And with the help of programs like the National Housing Strategy, since 2015, more than one million Canadians have. But with housing costs continue to rise across the country, middle and low-income Canadians are continuing to feel the increased financial burdens.
That’s why #Budget2021 proposes long-term solutions that will make housing more affordable for middle-class Canadians, help the most vulnerable, and end homelessness across the country:
Speeding up the construction and repair of 35,000 affordable housing units across Canada.
Addressing the urgent housing needs of vulnerable Canadians by investing more into the Rapid Housing Initiative.
Providing direct financial assistance for low-income women and children fleeing violence.
Introducing Canada’s first national tax on vacant or underused residential property owned by foreign non-residents.
Investing in safe and affordable housing for Northern Canadians.
Creating a pilot program to reduce veteran homelessness through rent supplements.
