We created each Super Focus to help inform and inspire you to create a Focus in your community and become a Champion of Change!
Canada's housing crisis has reached a critical point, with soaring rents and home prices pushing many to the brink. The 2024 federal budget introduces the Canada Rental Protection Fund and new investments, but concerns persist about their effectiveness as affordable units continue to disappear. It's time for communities to unite, advocate for stronger policies, and support innovative solutions to ensure every Canadian has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

Join Toto Today!Affordable housing is the cornerstone of a thriving society. It impacts every aspect of Canadian life, from financial stability and mental health to economic growth and social mobility. When Canadians have access to affordable housing, they can invest in their futures, contribute more to their communities, and build stronger, more diverse neighborhoods. It's about creating a Canada where everyone has the opportunity to put down roots and grow, regardless of their income level.
The housing affordability crisis spans coast to coast, affecting both urban centers and rural communities. Rapidly increasing home prices are outpacing wage growth, while a shortage of affordable rental units and rising homelessness rates are putting immense pressure on Canadians. The financialization of the housing market and the loss of existing affordable housing stock further compound these issues. From Vancouver's sky-high rents to Toronto's competitive market and rural areas' limited options, each region faces unique challenges in ensuring housing accessibility for all.
