Really good analysis of the housing policy positions for CPC, Liberals, and NDP. The best direction - based on non-market solutions- is arguably presented by the NDP, which is unfortunate because they may not be a factor in this election. A minority government would allow the NDP to perhaps turn some of their ideas, with some better substance, into legislation and implementation.

I don't know... this seems pretty impressive what with detailed policy and all. But where's the zingy 3-word slogan to really sell it....

As local gov’ts encourage more #housing … and, specifically, more #affordablehousing … they must keep on eye an old, old problem: slumlords. These are businesses that decide there’s greater profit in letting property fall into chaos than in maintaining their buildings, keeping them safe and attractive, and screening for good tenants. City hall’s mission should be … disrupt the slumlord’s business plan. https://www.minnpost.com/race-health-equity/2025/03/ipg-properties-unsanitary-and-unsafe/

Hi guys, today I found out I basically got an eviction notice for May 31st. This is, while i'm still searching for a job, so I'm not doing so good atm.
Does any one of you know of any jobs and/or affordable housing (looking around the 600-900 euro rent ballpark, and around a 2600 pre-tax euro salary, a month.)? Please let me know. Travel is difficult, I basically only got a bicycle, so in or around the town Veenendaal or Ede is preferred, though if you also know housing next to a job, then that's fine as well.
I also got a Paypal if you want to support me directly, https://www.paypal.me/Spennorex
My DMs here should be open in case you got any questions, or send me a reply here.

#Housing is a human right: How Finland is eradicating homelessness
"In the UK, a study by the homeless charity Crisis found that a policy of this kind in the UK could be more than five times as effective and nearly five times more cost-effective than existing services."

CBCHousing is a human right: How Finland is eradicating homelessness | CBC RadioAs part of The Sunday Edition's continuing coverage of homelessness in Canada, Michael speaks with Juha Kaakinen, the architect of Finland's national Housing First program. Its premise could hardly be simpler: If the problem is that people don't have homes, the solution is to give them homes. Period. There have been naysayers, of course, but in Finland, at least, it's been a spectacular success. And the model is catching on in municipalities across Europe, Asia and North America.

#PhiladelphiaPA: ‘Beyond frustrating’: Sheriff’s Office problems prevent #LandBank from buying lots for #CommunityGardens, houses
Story by William Bender, Ryan W. Briggs, March 10, 2025
"Last May, City Council passed a routine bill that amended the Philadelphia Code in order to preserve the Land Bank’s ability to acquire tax-delinquent lots at sheriff sales.
"The bill was essentially a bit of legal housekeeping. It tightened up the city’s land-acquisition process in response to a recent U.S. Supreme Court case in Minnesota over a property forfeiture.
"The goal was simple: Enable the city’s Land Bank, a quasi-governmental agency, to protect 90 or so parcels of community gardens from development and continue with its overall mission of repurposing #vacant or blighted land into #AffordableHousing and other projects that benefit the public.
"The bill passed 17-0. Mayor Cherelle L. Parker — whose administration helped draft the legislation — promptly signed it into law in June 2024.
"Yet, nine months later, the Land Bank has yet to acquire the garden parcels at sheriff sale.
"In fact, it has been unable to purchase any properties through sheriff sale — for the last five years.
"The reason: a problem in Sheriff Rochelle Bilal’s office. Again."

Y'know how no Prime Minister wants to renovate or rebuild 24 Sussex Dr. because the optics would be bad? How about making the funding of a new PM residence an omnibus bill alongside >100x as much funding for the purchase/construction of public affordable housing?
Affordable housing threatened as Trump halts $1 billion slated for extending life of aging buildings
Hundreds of thousands of low-rent apartments, many of them aging and in need of urgent repair, are at risk of being yanked out from under poor Americans.

"The Trump administration has stalled at least $60 million in funding intended largely for affordable housing developments nationwide, throwing hundreds of projects into a precarious limbo . . . Congress chose three nonprofits to distribute the grants, but HUD said in letters that it was cancelling contracts with two of the organizations, which together were to distribute the $60 million. "
