1 About CHRA The Canadian Housing and Renewal Association (CHRA) is the national voice of the community housing sector in Canada. [...] 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. [...] According to the National Housing Council, to address the gap in housing for Indigenous people living in URN areas the federal government must make an investment of $3 billion per year.6 Therefore, to close this gap the federal government must first recognize NICHI as its long-term delivery partner for the $4 billion URN Indigenous housing commitment in the 2023 federal budget, and then provide ad. [...] Investments such as the $1 billion over three years starting in 2025-2026 for the Rapid Housing Stream of the Affordable Housing Fund announced in Budget 2024 will provide much needed funding for supportive housing, but fall short of the commitments made through previous rounds of the Rapid Housing Initiative in October 2020, and Budgets 2021 and 2022, which amounted to $4 billion over four years,. [...] By building on the existing Community Housing Growth Fund (CHGF) model currently operating in Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Newfoundland and Labrador, the federal government can partner with provincial and territorial governments to provide the resources required to help the community housing sector prepare for scaling up.
