Subject: Make Housing a Priority at the Council of the Federation
Body:
Dear Premier:

I would like to express my concern regarding the high rate of poverty in our country and encourage you to make affordable housing a top priority when you host the Council of the Federation by putting pressure on the federal government to:

1) Fund the $1.7 billion in expiring annual operating funds for social housing providers.

2) Implement a robust national housing strategy.

With over 3 million living in poverty and 200,000 homeless persons in Canada, action must be taken!

Yours sincerely,

Nunavut
