Today we launch Recovery for All, a national advocacy campaign led by the CAEH, asking Canadians to encourage Parliament to make bold investments in housing, homelessness and income support to end homelessness in Canada, once and for all. Will you join us?

We are fighting for an end to homelessness in Canada.

That’s why, today, we’re launching an ambitious national campaign, Recovery for All. This campaign encourages Parliament to make the right investments in a post-covid recovery that not only stimulates the economy but helps those who need it most. If done right, this recovery effort can end homelessness in Canada, once and for all.

Let’s make history together. Join us now.

This campaign is audacious. But now is like no other time before. We need your voice to help make history. Will you join us?

Our six-point plan to end homelessness

Thanks to input from our partners and networks across Canada, we have created a six-point plan to end homelessness. These six tenets will help Canada not only recover from COVID-19’s impact, but build a better, stronger country that leaves no one behind.

• A federal commitment (with timelines and targets) to the prevention and elimination of homelessness, with expanded federal investment in community-based homelessness responses.
• A national guaranteed minimum income to ensure those in greatest need have minimum financial resources to help them meet their basic needs and prevent homelessness when times are tough.
• Construction of 300,000 new permanently affordable and supportive housing units and enhanced rental support for low-income Canadians to address Canada’s housing and homelessness crisis.
• Meaningful implementation of the right to housing to surface and resolve inequities and systemic/structural breakdowns that contribute to homelessness and housing need.
• Implement measures to curtail the impacts of financialization of rental housing markets by limiting the ability of large capital funds (including Real Estate Income Trusts – REITS) to purchase ‘distressed’ rental housing assets.
• Implementation of an Urban and Rural Indigenous Housing and Homelessness Strategy that is developed and implemented by urban, rural and Northern Indigenous peoples and housing and service providers.

How we win

By getting the federal government to invest in a COVID-19 recovery for all Canadians. To do this, we aim to get over 10,000 Canadians to join us on this campaign journey by signing up, sharing content, displaying their campaign support, and contacting their MPs and Senators across the country.

This support from Canadians across the country is critical, displaying to our government that there is genuine, widespread support for what we are proposing.
