Vote Housing is a national non-partisan campaign designed to engage and mobilize Canadians to pledge to Vote Housing in the upcoming federal election.
We want to harness the power of Canadians across the country to ensure all political parties support making bold investments in affordable housing and ending homelessness.
Let’s be clear: the pandemic has exposed deep inequities in our country — especially for those historically marginalized. What’s more, we know homelessness and housing need in this country were created by public policy. Heading into an upcoming federal election, with the power of our voice, our time, and our vote, we will change those policies. We’ve invested in safe, affordable housing in the past – we can do it again.
Every day in Canada, 1.7 million households live in a home that is either unaffordable, overcrowded and/or needs major repairs, while 35,000 Canadians experience homelessness on any given night.
Further, 36% of Canadians have been homeless themselves or know someone who has been homeless.
As party leaders campaign for your vote on September 20th, more than 5 million Canadians are worried about paying their rent on September 1st.
We are hearing about “housing” everywhere this federal election.
