HOUSE Canada Information

HOUSE stands for Housing Our University Students Equitably. We are an incorporated non-profit organization, set up by students, dedicated to developing student-controlled, permanently affordable accommodations across Canada. We advocate for, research and develop affordable and community-oriented student housing that benefits individuals and communities. We believe that equitable access to affordable student housing is central to creating sustainable urban environments and building a more socially just world. We develop expertise unique to Canada while being inspired by best practices around the world. We believe in social entrepreneurship and innovation, and in learning from the student-owned housing sector across North America and around the world. We believe in creating housing projects which are locally governed, self-financed, partially member-operated, and offer affordable rents.
