Canada's HousingShortage
With Canva
This infographic sheds light on Canada's Housing Shortage and offers estimates for resolving the Housing Affordability Crisis by 2030. In urban areas, escalating housing costs have triggered a widespread affordability crisis, compounded by limited supply, regulatory hurdles, and inefficiencies. The urgency for action is paramount to boost affordable housing supply and streamline processes. By 2030, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) aims to address this crisis, ensuring housing accessibility for all Canadians.
Divided into four key sections—context (problem statement), measures (tracking housing trends and progress over time), actions (to address the issue), and measures of success (using affordable housing as a metric)—this infographic serves as a comprehensive guide. It not only highlights the severity of the housing crisis but also outlines a strategic roadmap for resolution. Its value lies in its ability to inform stakeholders, policymakers, and the public about the challenges ahead and the necessary steps to achieve housing affordability by 2030.
