The United Nations has designated October 2 as World Habitat Day in 2017 – this year’s theme is “Housing Policies:  Affordable Homes”.  The Canadian Housing and Renewal Association (CHRA) is using this day to remind the federal government that the needs of Canada’s most vulnerable populations need to lie at the heart of the forthcoming National Housing Strategy, expected to be unveiled in November 2017.  Click here for a copy of our communique.
