Take Action

Here are three ways that you can support the Canadian Rental Housing Coalition:

1. Endorse the Charter

If you represent a local government, business or non-profit organization, you can help expand the Canadian Rental Housing Coalition on a national scale to advocate the nine goals outlined in the Charter to meet Canada’s rental housing needs.

2. Start a local Coalition

Review the resources available on our site for background info.
Arrange a meeting with decision makers from key local stakeholders. It is helpful to bring together a range of organizations such as:

Private Sector Housing/Development (Home Builders, Real Estate Board,
Non-profit Housing Sector Organization
Tenant Organization
Municipal/Regional government
Business Community representative
Financial Institution/Credit Union
Discuss issues related to the local supply of rental housing: look for common ground.

Every municipality is different but many communities are struggling with a need for rental housing.
The Charter provides a good basis for discussion, and consensus building. Each stakeholder will have a specific agenda, but the coalition is about focusing on the key fundamental points of agreement about stimulating rental housing supply that will then help build a strong voice for stimulating rental housing development in Canada.
