The quintessential housing paradox: rental costs soar beyond wages, while communities block affordable housing projects. We need solutions that work for everyone—not just those who are already housed. Find tangible solutions for all levels of government: https://t.co/V3iO6mfqvi

🚨 NEW EVENT: We will be hosting a webinar to demonstrate our BC Public Lands Map prototype on Tues Dec 9 at 10amPT/1pmET. This webinar will include a live demo, what the BCPLM means for you, and a Q&A with our research team. Register now: https://t.co/OGjCpu8Wvl

We're here at #HousingCentral this week, looking forward to engaging with some amazing housers across BC and Canada 🏘️

@BCNPHA @ahma_bc @chfbc If you can't make it, register to get updates on the BCPLM, and you'll be first to know of future events and updates.

TUESDAY: The federal government identified three public parcels for development in BC. Our BC Public Lands Map will identify thousands. Join the first prototype demonstration at Housing Central on Tuesday, hosted by @BCNPHA, @AHMA_bc, and @CHFBC.

$50B local infrastructure fund coming to #Budget2025, a critical for #housing density across Canadian cities. Our BC Public Lands Map will point to best places for housing, and where infra needs upgrades to support it. More at https://t.co/Tc6GIa1L2N https://t.co/tYblLanL0i

Great visualization in @globeandmail on the impact of double egress requirements in Canada. A huge disappointment that single stair will not be included in upcoming code changes (very difficult to solve a housing crisis w/o a Team Canada approach). https://t.co/z4n8TqsEwt

"If we don’t have a shared vision of what we want the housing system to look like, then we’re just going to get an incoherent mess of policies," - @MikePMoffatt We know that non-market housing pulls people out of precarity, and we need a LOT more of it. https://t.co/5z3CcdQcyH

Canada's housing crisis needs data-driven solutions. HART tools are used by 75% of Canadian cities. Our BCPLM will identify 00s of 000s of parcels for housing. But our funding ends Sept 2026—before the crucial Census data drops in 2027. Support our work:

Rather than improving affordability, these changes risk accelerating rent increases, and making housing even more precarious for renters in Ontario. Effective housing policy requires coordination between governments and evidence-based solutions. This legislation has neither.

Ending rolling makes renters more vulnerable, particularly those with lower incomes, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. Housing experts have called for temporary vacancy control measures to stabilize rents, this legislation moves in the opposite direction.

The notion that 00s of 000s of properties will suddenly become available under these terms is unrealistic at best. More likely it will widen the wealth gap between owners and renters, and potentially displace tenants from their communities or into precarious housing situations.

It's very difficult to solve the #housing crisis when govs are working against one another. As the federal government invests in non-profit housing, Ontario is proposing legislation that would eliminate one of the last remaining tenant protections. https://t.co/wCA0AiHuGQ

HART's research goes beyond housing needs assessment 🏘️ Our work spans density, municipal policy barriers, seniors housing, disability rights, co-ops, acquisitions and land use. University research prioritizing public good over profit. 📚Learn more:

Canada is investing billions in transit, but how do we densify around stations without displacing residents? HART wants to study Vancouver's Broadway Plan to answer this critical question and create frameworks for communities nationwide. 🚇 More: https://t.co/eu55fyYLZH #TOD

180 BC communities. 115+ federal funding applications. 41 of our 56 cities citing HART. HART has saved some communities an average of $39,500 + 4.7 months of staff time. Explore: https://t.co/eu55fyYLZH #munis #housing #canpoli

The 2026 Census will reveal Canada's post-pandemic housing reality without CERB distortions. HART can build a unified national dashboard for less than the cost of a 2BR in Toronto. Details: https://t.co/dC64x423sN #Census2026 #Housing #canpoli
