Explore Our Resource Centre
A space providing you with a range of resources and tools such as the Tool Kit, the portfolio of Project Highlights funded by the Center, the Self-assessment Tool and the Resource Inventory.
Tool Kit
Discover useful tools developed by fellow community housing providers and sector support organizations.
Indigenous Ally Toolkit
The Montreal Indigenous community NETWORK has shared the Indigenous Ally Toolkit. With the intention to explore “the role that an individual occupies and plays within the collective experience,” the toolkit is an important resource to educate non-Indigenous allies while demystifying allyship and what it entails. This resource was created by The Montreal Indigenous community NETWORK.
Forced Out: Evictions, Race, and Poverty in Toronto
The study by the Wellesley Institute highlights the stark disparities in eviction filings across Toronto prior to COVID-19. Eviction filing rates were twice as high in neighbourhoods where more low-income renters live. Independent of this association, we also find that Toronto has a racialized eviction problem. Black Torontonians may be at increased risk of eviction.
Beyond Reconciliation, Indigenization is Key
In the shared culture manifesto, a focus is given to the Seven Sacred Teachings of the Grandfathers that provide insight into the values held by the organization: honesty, wisdom, courage, humility, love, respect and trust.
Self-Assessment Tool for Transformation
Participate in a Community Housing Survey to Help us Transform the Sector
The Centre is conducting a survey, sponsored by the National Housing Strategy, to assess the well-being of Canadian community housing. The survey aims to reach smaller and medium-sized non-profit, co-operative, and Indigenous housing organizations who provide housing to thousands of Canadians.
As of summer 2020, we ask all community housing providers to share their feedback! Results will be available in January 2021 and shared with the community housing sector. The survey is being implemented by Ruth Chamberland, Dr. Patricia Streich, and Dr. Ted Harvey of SPR Associates. You are Canadian community housing provider? Please participate in our survey to help us improve as a sector to obtain affordable housing for all.
Resource Inventory

You can do your search using the drop-down list of categories, subjects and others, or by using text or date search.
