CHRA Housing Book Club
Join us for the CHRA Housing Book Club, a bi-monthly gathering for housing professionals, advocates, and curious readers alike.
We meet on the second Friday, every other month from 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET to explore and discuss books, Canadian when possible, that dive into the many dimensions of housing issues in Canada.
Hosted by the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association, this virtual book club creates space for thoughtful conversation, knowledge-sharing, and connection across the housing sector. Whether you’re a policy wonk, a frontline worker, a student, or just passionate about housing, all are welcome to join the discussion.
Come for the books, stay for the community!
Next Book Club: June 13, 2025
Our next book is This House is Not a Home by Katłıà (Catherine) Lafferty.
"The third book from acclaimed Dene, Cree and Metis writer Katłįà, This House Is Not a Home is a fictional story based on true events. Visceral and embodied, heartbreaking and spirited, this book presents a clear trajectory of how settlers dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their land — and how Indigenous communities, with dignity and resilience, continue to live and honour their culture, values, inherent knowledge systems, and Indigenous rights towards re-establishing sovereignty. Fierce and unflinching, this story is a call for land back".
