Please describe one concrete policy, program, or decision you would support to address both encampments and permanent housing.candidate's own words
A Municipal housing Corporation that can offer novel non-market solutions to address affordability such as co-ops, rent-geared-to-income units, fixed prices leases and mixed use developments. These tools are currently underutilized under the current planning framework.
Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on housing?candidate's own words
Affordable Housing means no more than one third of your income. We need to revert to this as a planning standard instead of the current CMHC market rate definition.
