Morning Breakout Session 3 – Housing Solutions: Urban, Rural, Aboriginal

Session Questions

Families have a right to housing that is safe, secure, adequate, affordable, dignified, close to needed amenities and services, and culturally appropriate. How can we pressure governments to develop housing? What have organizations done to create housing? What policy changes are needed to ensure access to adequate and affordable housing, without discrimination, in the private market? What are the opportunities for action, and what can organizations and individuals do?

The Ending Family Homelessness Symposium was held 7 November 2008 at Hart House, University of Toronto. All session notes are based on discussion in sessions, and do not necessarily represent the consensus of all present.
