An essential part of the Centre’s mission is to connect and partner with community-housing leaders to promote sector-wide transformation.
That’s why we have created a Facebook Group called “Social housing • Logement social,”
where organizations, staff, volunteers — anyone interested in housing issues, in fact —
are encouraged to share news, promote their activities and to discuss the hot topics of the day.
Share the good news with your friends and colleagues. Sign up and contribute your own content and comments.
We look forward to seeing you there!
