Take part in pre-budget consultations online

New year, new site, new FLASH
In order to better meet your information needs, we are changing the way we regularly communicate with members and stakeholders in 2016. In addition to information available on our revamped CHRA website, you can now expect a brief, weekly edition of our CHRA FLASH which will contain key updates related to our federal advocacy work, National Housing and Homelessness Congress, webinars, relevant reports and other sector news.

Remember to also follow us on Twitter (@CHRA_ACHRU) and Facebook for more frequent updates. And please donâ€™t hesitate to contact us if you want to share housing and homelessness news or calls for proposals with the rest of the sector.
