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%.

Electoral District (2011):
The government should subsided affordable environmentally and economically stable housing. Multiple family residents and apartment based housing. Single family home should be second in line for subsides.

Should be a combination of repairing per-existing as well adding new to help limit urban sprawl. Any net new added should be apartment/condo to use new space as efficiently as possible. If the building being repaired falls into the abandoned or condemned category it should be repaired and turned into low income housing to help combat homelessness.
@8ZFVK9G3yrs3Y
only build 100 million dollar homes
@8VQ6FVHNew Democratic4yrs4Y
depends on the population , but building more houses means more jobs options and the list goes on
@8VNTGWV4yrs4Y
it depends on the financial state of our country
@8VNPSTT4yrs4Y
Depends on the area that these homes are built, if it's apart of an area that needs more homes with people who can afford them, houses that won't be bought/ cannot be afforded by the people by annually average, should not be built in-case of money waste.
@8VNKWGV4yrs4Y
I believe that the government should build houses according to the percentage of people that are coming into the country and the province.
@8VJ4DK24yrs4Y
Yes they should but not that many
i feel like it would deal with the homeless population but we would run out of resources
@8VKXTJKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yes but only for those in poverty that can’t afford big homes or homes without proper assets, like clean water
