Affordable housing
At the end of the day, the housing crisis has been declared a national crisis. We’ve heard it at the federal government level. And so if, if it’s at a national level, we can’t very well think here that we’re going to solve it, the nine of us and staff and other stakeholders locally without some structural changes. … there’s a lot of variables involved when it comes to the housing sector, and not one solution is going to fix it. We need systemic changes at the national level, certainly at the provincial level, which then will trickle down here for us to do the things that we can do.
