Pan-Canadian Voice for Women's Housing

NA20273

$983,476.00

Feb 22, 2021 - Feb 21, 2024

This 36-month project aims to work towards institutional change in housing policies and practices at local, provincial, territorial and federal levels, by ensuring that they are informed by a holistic, inclusive and intersectional feminist voice and reflect the housing needs of women and children across Canada, with a focus on those who are affected by barriers to safe, affordable and appropriate housing. The project will present calls to action to government bodies and monitor the progress of subsequent government commitments, ensuring that such commitments are captured in the National housing strategy and that women-centered policies are developed at federal, provincial and territorial levels. The project will work to create a space for women and women-serving organizations from across Canada, to come together to better understand the barriers to safe, affordable and appropriate housing. The project will develop alternatives that will be informed by women’s experiences.
