The Long Term Affordable Housing Strategy consultations are over but the work continues.

And the Toronto Star agrees:  Get Going on Housing

 

Arrange to meet with your MPP to advocate for affordable housing in your community!

The deadline to make submissions to the Long Term Affordably Housing Strategy has passed but our elected officials need to hear that the lack of affordable housing in our communities is an urgent and pressing need that must be addressed, both in the 2010 budget, and through a comprehensive, fully-funded long-term affordable housing strategy.  You can use the attached tip-sheet, produced by HNO-partner Campaign 2000, for information and suggestions on how to begin lobbying your MPP.  Feel free to use other materials available on the Housing Network of Ontario website when you meet with your MPP.
