FCM is joining the chorus of voices advocating for affordable housing solutions this #NationalHousingDay.
The housing crisis is a matter of national urgency. The solution will require coordinated, ambitious and immediate action—from all orders of govt. #CDNmuni are prepared to lead the housing charge in bold new directions that see all orders of govt working together.
FCM is urging the federal government to work with municipalities to build the right kind of housing supply and critical local infrastructure needed to support a growing population and end homelessness in Canada.
