In 2017, The Canadian government announced that it would allocate C$40 billion (US$31.6 billion) to a national housing plan to alleviate the severe lack of affordable housing. This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

Only for those who cannot afford a dwelling due to the crazy stupid housing markwt and do not already own property
@9P39F5F10mos10MO
They should build more affordable housing. Not just for homeless people but majority of young people struggle to live in houses
@9KJ3MYL1yr1Y
If it goes to more low income people yes because my family and I are almost homeless and don't want to finally get a home after being homeless...
@9F8CVCN2yrs2Y
Subsidize the building of AFFORDABLE homes available only to those below a certain income.
@9BN23J3New Democratic2yrs2Y
No single family dwellings, affordable dense multifamily homes.
@959ZCFT3yrs3Y
Subsidizing more homes that could potentially give them more influence in setting higher fair market value, more laws and regulations should go in to protect from this, if so then subsidizing helps
@93KZB8D3yrs3Y
the government needs to stop building expensive luxury condos in major cities, and focus on building affordable, accessible housing.
@92GXQYZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but for people in need, homeless people, low income housing for families and homes women & children protection
No, the government should withhold funding to municipalities that don't build more housing
@923H7T53yrs3Y
Yes, given that this does not drastically raise housing prices in the areas
@8YYHV6VNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but ensure that they cannot be purchased by landlords or corporations
@8YYC3YQ3yrs3Y
Yes, and prioritize building large apartment buildings instead of building vast suburbs.
@8YQ3LJJ3yrs3Y
Yes but to house the homeless only and not at the expense of farmland and green space
Yes, as long as these houses are affordable to the average Canadian income. Else it is wasted effort.
@8YB8J6N3yrs3Y
Yes but not at expense of farmland and greenspace and only for those earning below a certain income including the homeless.
@8Y77BZY3yrs3Y
Only if it is for people who are homeless or poor, and not at the expense of farmland and does not require deforestation
@8XWM5JC3yrs3Y
Take very old houses and break them down to build a new house there
@8XLBMCJ3yrs3Y
This is Not the solution to the housing crisis
@8VYDBDS4yrs4Y
No, work on increasing wages to keep up with housing
@8VTB9C24yrs4Y
Yes, if it's affordable.
@8VSY4FS4yrs4Y
Fix ones that are falling apart. Rebuild, not clear cut.
@8VSST284yrs4Y
@8VSKZ454yrs4Y
Build homes but make them affordable
@8VS69FB4yrs4Y
Yes but at least half should be affordable/subsidized housing
@8VRZY3V4yrs4Y
Where, for whom, and at what cost to home buyers and tax payers?
@8VRRWV24yrs4Y
There is a cap on how many homes a home owner can own.
@8VRQ3BYNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Mini homes to house the homeless population.
yes, but in an eco-friendly way
@8VPQLN74yrs4Y
if it dosent take away from what is more important
@8VPLBPK4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they are for ownership and not for the use of renting out
@8VP78HL4yrs4Y
Only if the are specifically for low income
@8VP6P4Q4yrs4Y
Only if they will be affordable and bring the housing market price down
Yes, and the government should build more than 1.4 million new units of non-market housing
How does this alleviate the cost of housing exactly?
@8VMDSHCNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, BUT THEY NEED TO BE AFFORDABLE!!!
@8VM7GRMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only if it is affordable, public housing.
@8VLLY7S4yrs4Y
Depends where, how, pricing.
@8VLJ4NM4yrs4Y
Yes but only if they're affordable homes
@8VLG64N4yrs4Y
Yes, but ensure a large chunk of the new homes are also affordable housing.
@8VLFK96New Democratic4yrs4Y
As long as the homes vary in value, yes. We don't need 1.4 million dollars spent on building houses that no new home buyers can purchase in our current economy. Look at building more income inclusive housing.
@8VLCRXP4yrs4Y
As long as they are to be used as a primary residence for buyers and not as income properties.
Only efficient housing for homeless
So long as you don't build on farmland that supports are environment and ecosystem
@8VJ4TBZ4yrs4Y
Depends who they are for. No if it’s for refugees.

Yes but, more affordable for low income households and families
i feel like it would deal with the homeless population but we would run out of resources
@9CMG8KR2yrs2Y
No, we should subsidize high density housing
@9BK2KLWNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Repair and rebuild existing houses and properties, make more affordable housing for low-income and homeless people.
@98W9DZW2yrs2Y
the government should focus on building affordable and practical housing for homeless people and low income families instead of building 1.7 million dollar townhouses, and ideally try to preserve green space
@96RDSJSNew Democratic2yrs2Y
I do not support the subsidization of private homes, but rather more midsized rental apartments.
@8ZJNVP53yrs3Y
no reclaim the property of landlords and give it to the people who live there
@8YVCKGD3yrs3Y
Yes but primarily in Indigenous communities/low income
@8VT3XXM4yrs4Y
Yes, but do it in a thoughtful sustainable way
@8VRKCKD4yrs4Y
They should make homes more affordable to buy
@8VQZJTXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Maintain the historical properties that exist, there are many empty homes. The problem is affordability.
@8VNQR4J4yrs4Y
Yes, if those houses are reasonably priced for lower income folk
@8VMVPB9New Democratic4yrs4Y
Old homes and spaces should be made new rather than expanding cities
@8VJR5284yrs4Y
Yes but keep the cost low so the new generation can own homes
