In this episode of the Keeping it Real podcast, join Jacquie McCarnan as she delves into the complex world of affordable housing and the ongoing housing crisis in Canada. She explores the historical context behind the housing crisis, tracing it back to the shift in responsibility from federal to provincial governments. She dissects the recent federal housing policies implemented since 2017 and their implications on provincial and municipal levels.
Jacquie highlights key aspects of the federal housing policy, such as the Canadian Secondary Suite Loan Program and the Public Transit Fund, which aim to increase housing supply and improve infrastructure. She also touches on recent provincial legislation, such as Bill 44, and the Housing Supply Act, and its implications for property development and zoning regulations.
