Canada's housing crisis has left hundreds of thousands of people struggling to make ends meet. Home Truths explores the root causes of this issue and proposes solutions that can be applied globally. The book examines decades of failed policy and reveals how non-market housing is crucial for addressing wealth disparities between renters and homeowners. It also outlines evidence-backed ideas from experts in urban planning, politics, development, and advocacy to provide affordable housing where it is needed. By understanding the complexities of Canada's crisis, readers can gain insights into how all levels of government can work together to tackle this issue and create more equitable communities.
