About us
Established in 1968, the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association is a national non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening the social housing sector. CHRA´s mission is to ensure that Canada has decent affordable housing for all. We will achieve this by: * Making housing a priority with Canadians * Convincing governments that housing is a sound investment * Shaping the housing agenda across the country * Helping communities meet housing needs CHRA´s key activities include: The creation and dissemination of affordable housing research — Recent research projects have focused on the long-term affordability of the existing housing stock, and on enhancing the sector´s energy efficiency. Advocacy for improved housing policies and programs — CHRA has influenced recent federal decisions to make mortgage insurance more affordable and to increase funding support for affordable housing development. Enhancing the affordable housing sector´s development capacity — Home energy efficiency, expanding affordable homeownership options, and taking advantage of acquisition and renovation opportunities are among recent areas of focus. Keeping the affordable housing sector connected — CHRA keeps members and supporters connected to each other and to important housing news through a range of national and regional events, including an annual congress, policy symposia, and national “teleforums”, and through a variety of print and online communication vehicles, including Canadian Housing magazine and the monthly Update e-newsletter.

The delay in establishing the National Indigenous Housing Centre and releasing urgently needed funding is unacceptable. CHRA recommends that the federal government release funding to NICHI (National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Inc.) now so they can proceed with the next tier of urgent projects and not lose yet another construction season.

Le retard pris dans la mise en place du Centre national du logement autochtone et dans le déblocage les fonds dont nous avons un besoin urgent est inacceptable. L'ACHRU recommande que le gouvernement federal débloquer maintenant des fonds supplémentaires pour NICHI (National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Inc.) afin qu’il puisse procéder à l’étape suivante des projets urgents et ne pas perdre une autre saison de construction.
