TORONTO, April 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In advance of the upcoming federal budget, Habitat for Humanity is calling on the Government of Canada to introduce measures that will strengthen the housing system, create housing supply, and allow non-profits like Habitat to significantly increase access to affordable homeownership for Canadian families.

Key Points: 
  • TORONTO, April 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In advance of the upcoming federal budget, Habitat for Humanity is calling on the Government of Canada to introduce measures that will strengthen the housing system, create housing supply, and allow non-profits like Habitat to significantly increase access to affordable homeownership for Canadian families.
  • In many cases, affordable housing providers are paying more in fees and taxes back to governments than they receive in government funding to help build affordable homes.
  • Land acquisition is one of the biggest barriers to creating affordable housing, and non-profit builders like Habitat must compete against for-profit developers to acquire it.
  • “Budget 2024 is an opportunity to build a future where every Canadian has safe and decent housing,” says Julia Deans, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada.
