Canada

Social housing accounts for less than five per cent of the total housing stock in Canada, a relatively low proportion compared to other industrialized counties.

Eight per cent is the average size of the social housing stock among countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. In the Netherlands, social housing accounts for roughly one third of the housing stock.

Last year, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to introduce a renters' bill of rights that would "crack down on renovictions" among other measures.

So far, the government has published a so-called blueprint for the proposed document. NB ACORN says change isn't coming fast enough. "We need an actual action plan," Jongeneelen said.
