The Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) is Canada’s leading registered charitable organization working to advance the right to adequate housing. For 35 years, we have worked tirelessly at the intersection of human rights and housing, providing free services to renters facing evictions and human rights violations to remain housed, providing education and training about housing rights across Canada, and advancing rights-based housing policy through research, policy advocacy, and law reform.

In the attached link, please find CCHR's submission regarding changes to the definition of an “Affordable Residential Unit” in the Development Charges Act, 1997 for the purpose of municipal development-related charge discounts and exemptions.

We would be happy to provide further input and discuss our recommendations.
