In recognition of National (Right to) Housing Day, the Federal Housing Advocate, Marie-Josée Houle, and the National Right to Housing Network are pleased to invite you to observe a panel discussion on Wednesday, November 22, 2023 from 1:00pm – to 2:30pm (EST).

After Dr. Carolyn Whitzman sets the stage with a quick snapshot of her latest research on housing need, 3 non-market housing experts will examine substantive recommendations on how to hold governments to account on the National Housing Strategy investments, how to leverage other mechanisms to obtain capital for the creation of more non-market housing, and how to ensure the sector is set up for success.

Our speakers:

• Dr. Carolyn Whitzman (housing rights advocate, researcher, and professor, Ottawa University)

• Margaret Pfoh (CEO of the Aboriginal Housing Management Association)

• Stéphan Corriveau (Executive Director of the Community Housing Transformation Centre)

• Olga Tasci (CEO of the Agency for Co-operative Housing)

They will convene this important and informative discussion using human rights and Indigenous rights frameworks to empower duty-bearers with concrete examples and solutions to the challenge of developing the right amount and right kind of housing supply that is permanently affordable. This discussion will also contribute to the Advocate’s ongoing advocacy efforts and recommendations to Parliament.
