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.
