Housing on the Hill Day is an annual event organized by CHRA that facilitates meetings between housing professionals and Parliamentarians to discuss issues of importance to the social and non-profit housing sector. 

With a new government and a new parliament now is the time for us to engage with Parliamentarians and ensure that they know community housing is a critical part of the housing solution in Canada. 

Join us and help us share the successes, stories and strength of the community housing sector with our leaders in Ottawa. 

We’re excited to join CHRA members, housing professionals, and sector partners to advocate for solutions to the housing crisis. As the federal government thinks about how to do housing differently through Build Canada Homes, we need to make sure that community housing is central to this project and that urban, rural, and northern Indigenous housing is a priority for the new government. 

Join us in Ottawa to share this message and to strengthen our collective voice! 

Attendees will meet with Parliamentarians throughout the day while we offer ongoing programming. 

Participants will have the opportunity to receive our free advocacy training.
