Non-profit and community-based housing is Ontario’s best investment. ONPHA advocates on behalf of our members for strong investments that will pay off today and for future generations. We do this by leveraging our relationships with provincial and federal governments to ground and inform policy, shaping and promoting discussion on the value of community housing, and bringing our members’ realities to the table with a strong, united voice.
