Did you know?

• In Canada, housing is considered "affordable" if it costs less than 30% of a household's before-tax income.
• About 20% of renters spent more than half their income on rent, which housing advocates say puts them at high risk of becoming homeless.
• There is someone waiting on a list for affordable housing in more than 283,000 households across Canada.

"It's a privilege to engage with Jonathan Rose, a thoughtful and progressive developer known for developing communities that are affordable and environmentally-responsible," said Alfredo Hermano, CEO and Founding Partner of 3H Properties Group. "This critical discussion will allow us to dig deep into the issue of housing affordability in Canada and strategize with an industry veteran on innovative and green solutions. With a preservation plan in place, achieving CMHC's goal of affordable housing by 2030 becomes more realistic."

In some areas, existing affordable homes are quickly becoming unaffordable due to land scarcity and soaring construction costs. Housing preservation offers a faster, more lightly regulated opportunity to maintain affordability and is proven to be more cost effective than demolishing existing assets and constructing from new. A well thought out housing preservation solution is linked to a reduction in homelessness, housing waitlists and protects the billions of taxpayer dollars already invested in affordable rental housing. Without a preservation plan, CMHC's goal of everyone in Canada having a home they can afford and that meets their needs by 2030 becomes increasingly out of reach.
