Canada Housing Agency to Push for National Housing Strategy

Canada’s housing agency will begin a push for a national housing strategy to support affordable housing.

"This year, CMHC will work with other federal colleagues to undertake broad-based consultations on a national housing strategy," Evan Siddall, chief executive officer of Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp., the country’s national housing agency, said in the text of a speech in Whitehorse, Yukon. "This will include consultations with provincial and territorial governments, Indigenous and other communities, and key stakeholders. Our goal will be to develop a comprehensive national housing strategy to reduce housing need."
