Housing is in a state of crisis on PEI - and has been for
several years. Rapid population growth, changing demographics, and a
lack of government foresight and action means that, for many, keeping
a roof over their head is neither affordable nor something that can be
taken for granted.??
How do we get out of such a desperate situation, and into a future
where affordable, appropriate housing is a right enjoyed by all??
This Wednesday, February
16th (6:30-8:30pm), please join us for an online forum
dedicated to Housing on PEI.

non-profit housing providers. Let's put it all on the table and talk

of the participants, and may include:
- Rental housing and the upcoming new Residential Tenancy Act;
- What it takes to end homelessness;
- Alternatives to housing-as-usual, such as cooperatives,
co-housing, tiny homes and more;

etc;
