This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

Invest in higher density middle housing in cities instead of detached single family homes in the suburbs.
@9BZVR9Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but not at the expense of farmland and green space and only available to low income or first time homebuyers.
@8VMFV6K4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are affordable.
@B4CBLSJ1 day1D
Yes, but only if they are sold as primary residences and investors are banned from purchasing for 15 years.
@B4BF3T33 days3D
Yes for low income and homeless individuals. There needs to be an income cut off such as for individuals making under $125,000 per year amd only on first primary residence.

Depends what you mean by homes. There are at least that many vacant dwellings in Canada already and half as many unhoused people. This is a way bigger mess than giving money to corporate developers is going to be able to solve.
@B49S5T94 days4D
Yes, we are in a housing crisis caused by shortages right now, the government should help subsidize the building of the homes with private companies, in return the companies should reduce the price of homes once they hit the market so young Canadians are able to afford.
