National Shelter Spokesperson Adrian Pisarski said, “2 years ago, affordable housing was the ‘centrepiece of the budget’ and made a downpayment on addressing the crisis establishing the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC), since then they assume they’ve fixed it.”
“Affordable housing and social housing, both public and community housing, ain’t fixed,” he added.
“At a time when we desperately need a program to build new supply dedicated to low income households, their needs have again been ignored in the Budget.”
