Our mission is to lead and provoke system-wide action toward the right to housing for all by serving as the national voice of the community housing sector and by creating the conditions for community housing providers to achieve their goals. [...] This means that to restore affordability and end the current housing crisis we need to more than double the percentage share of the housing stock that is non-market community housing. [...] The funding for these programs should be maintained in the long-term to provide the reliability needed to build new housing stock and the programs themselves should be marginally reformed to allow for better flexibility in changing economic conditions. [...] Investment in the community housing sector is needed to build the foundations for expansion and scalability; to ensure equitable Canada-wide access to training and professional-development programs; and to improve and adapt programs to better serve communities in ways that help them achieve their housing growth targets. [...] This includes existing sector-led programs and organizations, like the Chartered Institute of Housing Canada, the Housing Professionals Mentorship Program and the Community Housing Transformation Centre.
