CHRA has over 300 members who collectively house and shelter hundreds of thousands of Canadians and provide housing support to millions more. Members and stakeholders are diverse and include housing providers, municipalities, businesses, individuals, provincial/territorial housing departments, service and support agencies and other national and provincial associations. Established in 1968, CHRA undertakes research, develops policy, makes recommendations and advocates on behalf of its members to compel decision-makers to
make the kinds of choices that ensures affordable housing for all who need it.
