Bill Detail
An Act to establish a national strategy on housing for young Canadians
This enactment provides for the development of a national strategy on housing for young Canadians to ensure they have greater access to affordable and secure housing. It also provides for reporting requirements in respect of the strategy.
This bill aims to create a national strategy to help young Canadians, aged 17 to 35, find affordable and secure housing. It requires the government, in consultation with various groups including provincial governments, municipalities, and young people themselves, to develop this strategy. The strategy will assess the current housing situation for young people and propose measures to improve access to rentals, support first-time homebuyers, and encourage the building of more affordable housing options.
Key aspects of the strategy will include addressing rental housing, supporting home ownership, promoting the construction of different types of affordable housing, fostering collaboration between different levels of government, and identifying ways to remove barriers. The bill also mandates reporting on the development of the strategy within 18 months and an evaluation of its effectiveness within four years, ensuring transparency and accountability.
