Read the release, backgrounder and ONPHA's reaction. ONPHA has updated its Strategic Plan for 2005-2010. Download the revised document here. ONPHA has joined with its members and and sector partners urging the Premier to fund the repair of social housing by creating a social housing capital financing facility. The joint sector letter calls for funds towards this to be included in the next provincial budget scheduled for mid March. There is little doubt that housing plays a key role in poverty prevention and reduction. ONPHA recently commissioned a paper to examine these roles, the international experience and implications for Ontario. The paper also examines how income assistance programs like Ontario Works and housing issues are not properly aligned. ONPHA plans to present the paper to Cabinet Committee created to develop Ontario's poverty reduction strategy. Click here to see more of What's New at ONPHA!
