ACORN Support
CUASA endorses ACORN’s campaign for affordable housing near rapid transit. Currently, there are over 10,000 families on the wait-list for social housing. Meanwhile only 3% of development in the past 10 years has been affordable rental units. ACORN is working with allies to ensure addressing the housing crisis is also a top priority for Ottawa’s decision-makers.
