| Abstract: |
Despite substantial investments from the Canadian government in constructing new and renovating existing affordable and social housing, communities continue to face unmet housing needs, and the gap between supply and demand for this type of housing is widening. Effective decision-making around social and affordable housing investments and policy requires comprehensive, system-level data. For such data to be useful, it must be pulled together from various sources to provide a meaningful picture of housing needs at local, regional, and national levels. This paper outlines our vision for an open data solution that integrates existing databases on social housing needs, shelter system users, and available housing stock to improve how decisions are made around housing priorities.
