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%.

just add apartment buildings in areas where not many people live instead of 1.4 million single family homes
@9QQT33810mos10MO
We can't just keep building more houses to combat the housing crisis because eventually, we will run out of space to build. There needs to be a more long-term solution.
Yes, but to house the homeless and not at the expense of farmland and green space
@9CMPRSZ2yrs2Y
focus on the housing crisis
@9CMKSDZ2yrs2Y
Not at the expense of farmland and green space, rebuilding and repairing housing is better. But despends on the variables
@9CMFTM62yrs2Y
Can rebuild existing damaged houses and provide home to the homeless. Do not build too much homes so it will help in reducing pollution and overuse of resources.
@93RRWRP3yrs3Y
Housing the homeless is an important reason to build new homes, however the houses should not take away too much farmland or greenery so as not to endanger our biodiversity.
@8Z8JFZZ3yrs3Y
Allow the creation of medium-density housing instead of low-density housing, and push towards creating walkable eco-friendly cities and towns.

Yes, but only to the homeless of existing houses

Yes, as long as deforestation is limited and is not endangering the surrounding environment.
@8VLKJV44yrs4Y
Do you actually have an idea on how to make this happen or is it just talk??
@8VK27KS4yrs4Y
Yes but they should be efficient and cost effective built with a Canadian labour
Yes, build new areas across cities, instead of populating already busy cities
Depends where, GTA is already over populated
@9CMJWMC2yrs2Y
No, rebuild or repair existing houeses instead. Howver, if needed build more house but not at the expense of farmland and green space.
Yes, but they should be careful of where they build new homes.
