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%.

The government should work to make existing house more accessible by reducing foreign ownership particularly of inner city real-estate, restrict AirBnB and assist first time home buyers.
@9623N533yrs3Y
Yes but for homeless and rent controlled for low and middle incomes
@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
@8YYHV6VNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but ensure that they cannot be purchased by landlords or corporations
@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.

Yes but not at expense of farmland and greenspace and only for those earning below a certain income including the homeless.

The government should build more subsidy sized houses as the current million dollar house is unrealistically affordable

@8VK8YBQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for residence- no commercial owners or renting.
@8VHQJDKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Affordable housing such as garden suites and couch houses and there should be no development fees for these homes as some municipalities charge these fees i.e. Brant County Tiny house communities
@96RDSJSNew Democratic2yrs2Y
I do not support the subsidization of private homes, but rather more midsized rental apartments.
@92G6YKN3yrs3Y
No, the government should invest directly in public housing
@8ZJNVP53yrs3Y
no reclaim the property of landlords and give it to the people who live there
@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
