Could compensation begin with a Housing Strategy for Young People?

MP Braedon Clark is calling on all parties to support a National Strategy on Housing for Young Canadians. Like the people who power Gen Squeeze, he recognizes that:

“Access to affordable housing is the foundation for opportunity, yet today, young Canadians are being priced out, locked out, and forced to compromise their futures… Young Canadians can’t build a life for themselves if they can’t afford a place to live, and the ripple effects will threaten the entire Canadian economy.”

– Braedon Clark, Member of Parliament for Sackville–Bedford–Preston

We welcome MP Clark's leadership, and applaud his efforts to draw attention to the challenges young people face in our housing system. A National Strategy could be an important first step in identifying and implementing the solutions we need - and delivering the compensation young people deserve.

That’s why we’re lending our voice and support. We hope you will too. 

Send a letter to your MP urging them to vote in favour of Bill C-227: An Act to Establish a National Strategy on Housing for Young Canadians.

Each of Canada's major federal political parties has already acknowledged the harm young people face in our housing system. Now they have a chance to show that they’ll back up these words with actions.
