The United Nations established #WorldHabitatDay to recognize the critical role of housing in peoples’ lives. Today, Habitat for Humanity Canada continues to build on that vision, making sure more families, at home and globally, can access safe, decent, affordable homes. ----------- Les Nations Unies ont créé la Journée mondiale de l'habitat pour reconnaître le rôle crucial du logement au sein de la société.

Thank you to the over 40 MPs who met with Habitat leaders today at #HabitatontheHill. There is a real sense of urgency around the need for affordable housing in Canada. And a recognition that affordable homeownership needs to be part of the strategy. The Members of Parliament we spoke to see the value of Habitat's work in their communities. They were open to hearing our solutions for putting more families on the path to owning their own home. We look forward to working together to continue making that a reality.

Today in Ottawa, Habitat leaders from across Canada are delivering a message to Members of Parliament: Homeownership is a key part of creating long-term, stable housing solutions. With the backing of the federal government’s Affordable Housing Fund, we can help more families realize the security and independence that come from owning a home. ** L'accession à la propriété est un élément clé dans la création de solutions de logement stables et à long terme. Avec le soutien du Fonds pour le logement abordable du gouvernement fédéral, nous pouvons aider davantage de familles à bénéficier de la sécurité et de l'indépendance que procure la propriété d'un logement.
