NATIONAL HOUSING STRATEGY ACT

S.C. 2019, c. 29, s. 313

Assented to 2019-06-21

An Act respecting a national housing strategy

[Enacted by section 313 of chapter 29 of the Statutes of Canada, 2019, in force
July 9, 2019, see SI/2019-62.]

PREAMBLE

Whereas housing is essential to the inherent dignity and well-being of the
person and to building sustainable and inclusive communities as well as a strong
national economy in which the people of Canada can prosper and thrive;

Whereas access to affordable housing contributes to achieving beneficial social,
economic, health and environmental outcomes;

Whereas improved housing outcomes are best achieved through cooperation between
governments and civil society as well as the meaningful involvement of local
communities;

Whereas national goals, timelines and initiatives relating to housing and
homelessness are essential to improving the quality of life of the people of
Canada, particularly persons in greatest need;

Whereas a national housing strategy would support a common vision, key
principles and a coordinated approach to achieving improved housing outcomes;

Whereas a national housing strategy would contribute to meeting the Sustainable
Development Goals of the United Nations;

And whereas a national housing strategy would support the progressive
realization of the right to adequate housing as recognized in the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to which Canada is a party;

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate
and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:
