Support The Pan Canadian Voice for Women's Housing 

The Pan-Canadian Voice for Women’s Housing (PCVWH) is a national project focused on ensuring housing policies across Canada include and prioritize women and children. We host an annual symposium to give women a space to discuss changes they’d like to see to housing policies at the local, regional and national level. Since our first symposium in 2017, we’ve encouraged intersectional and inclusive participation.

We’ve successfully facilitated urgent and timely discussions, which have inspired our flagship Calls to Actions. We’ve also made important recommendations to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), which have helped with the development of the National Housing Strategy.

Pan-Canadian Voice for Women’s Housing is launching a new campaign to strengthen and amplify the voices of women and gender diverse people with lived experience of inadequate housing as advocates for better housing for households led by women and gender diverse people across Canada. With the renewed interest in housing policy and funding by provinces and the federal government, it’s important that the needs of households led by women and gender diverse people are front and centre.

Over the next few months, we’ll be working to cultivate a community of activists, convene important conversations, support skill-building, generate resources, share opportunities, and connect women and gender diverse people with lived experience with decision-makers to share their experiences of what life is like without adequate housing.

As we embark on this work, we are inviting you to join us to find out how you can make a difference as a champion for women and gender diverse people.
