Housing Opens Doors is a multi-year campaign to make affordable housing a priority for Ontario. Led by the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA), the campaign has many supporters, including housing providers and tenants, organizations serving the public good, corporate sponsors and concerned people like you.

For far too long, affordable housing has been at the bottom of our provincial to-do list. It’s been seen as a cost, not an investment, a sinkhole rather than a well of untapped potential. As a result, the waiting list for affordable housing has been growing year after year. As of 2012, it’s reached 156,358 households.

We’re here to change that, by telling a new story about affordable housing. A story about solutions, not problems. Investments, not costs. The core of our story is this: whenever a household opens the door to an affordable home, the ripple can be felt across Ontario, in everything from thriving families to a stronger economy.

So, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 156,358 rings of support, one for every Ontario household still waiting for an affordable home. To get there, we need you to do something you’ve done a thousand times before, but never with more importance: Ring the doorbell.

Help make affordable housing a priority in your community. Join ONPHA at one of four events they’re putting on across Ontario. Hear speakers and tenants passionate about the issue, interact with a travelling door installation that brings the story of affordable housing to life, and of course, ring more doorbells!

The Ottawa Launch happens on May 25th, 2013 at the corner of Sussex Dr. and George St. in the Byward Market.  Show your support and stop by to ring the doorbell and offer your support!  Volunteers are welcome.

You won’t want to miss CHF Canada’s 2013 AGM in Calgary, Alberta. Next June, over 700 volunteer leaders and managers from across Canada will gather to attend workshops, have their say in the business of the national federation, network with friends and fellow co‑operators, celebrate our achievements and of course, have some fun. Housing co‑ops will get the tools they need to prepare for the future, so make sure you plan to be there!
