Description

As part of a series of volumes on reforming Canadian social policy, this volume offers a compilation of essays discussing various aspects of Canadian housing policy. The essays examine the potential role of federal social housing policy within a major reform of Canada's social security system; the issue of affordable housing at an affordable social cost, including the role of nonprofit social housing, municipal zoning, and secondary suites; lessons to be learned from Ontario's housing policy regarding rent controls, housing subsidies, and private sector housing development; the concept of urban villages; and the finding of common ground among the various interest groups within the housing sector.
