Federal Election April 28, 2025

MNPHA is working with our colleagues across Canada to get commitments to community housing in the federal election. You can help the voting public, canadidates, and their parties understand that community housing is a solution to Canada’s affordability and economic issues, and tell them what we need to build and sustain the sector.

CHRA and partners have developed a policy plan, Housing Canada: A Sovereign Plan to Protect Canadians and Build a Resilient Housing System.

This comprehensive strategy outlines the key federal actions needed to address the housing crisis, including:

• Doubling the share of community housing through new funding mechanisms and incentives.
• Ensuring public lands are used for affordable housing to unlock land for development.
• Creating an immediate housing safety net with rental supports and eviction protections.
• Rapidly Expand Indigenous Urban, Rural and Northern (URN) Housing to meet the housing needs of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and communities.  
• Developing a national housing skills strategy to train workers and support faster construction

CHRA has created an Election Toolkit with resources to help you engage with your candidates and push for community housing commitments this federal election.
