Canada is in a housing crisis and it\u2019s getting worse with the massive growth of big corporate landlords acquiring tons of apartment buildings and houses only to make profit. ACORN has been fighting corporate landlords and their investors since its foundation in 2004 and has won hundreds of millions in repairs, stopped displacement, and won protections like landlord licensing and registration, municipal anti-tenant displacement laws, stricter rent control laws, inclusionary zoning and more. However, recent phenomenon such as financialization of housing coupled with lack of full rent controls and weak tenant protections, among others continue to put low- and- moderate tenants at a greater disadvantage.<\/p>\n

\n
• Mandate disclosure of property ownership across all provinces.<\/li>\n
• Stop financialized landlords from buying more affordable housing. Set limits to how much housing can they acquire.<\/li>\n
• CMHC should supplement the National Housing Strategy\u2019s Co-Investment Fund with an Acquisitions Fund that would enable non-profit, co-op and land trust organizations to purchase at-risk rental buildings when they come on the market.<\/li>\n
• Immediately plug the tax loophole in the Income Tax Act that gives massive tax exemptions to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).<\/li>\n
• Any CMHC backed financing\/ federal funding to corporate landlords should be tied to a no displacement guarantee; housing targeted to people in core housing need, affordable term perpetuity; and minimum maintenance and energy efficiency standards.<\/li>\n
• Build a minimum of 1.2 million units of affordable housing in the next decade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Le Canada traverse une crise du logement et la situation s’aggrave avec la croissance massive des propri\u00e9taires de grandes entreprises qui acqui\u00e8rent des tonnes d’immeubles d’appartements et de maisons uniquement pour faire du profit. ACORN se bat contre les propri\u00e9taires d’entreprise et leurs investisseurs depuis sa fondation en 2004 et a gagn\u00e9 des centaines de millions en r\u00e9parations, arr\u00eat\u00e9 le d\u00e9placement et obtenu des protections telles que l’octroi de licences et l’enregistrement des propri\u00e9taires, les lois municipales anti-locataires, les lois de contr\u00f4le des loyers plus strictes, le zonage inclusif et plus encore. Toutefois, un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne r\u00e9cent tels que la financiarisation du logement, associ\u00e9s \u00e0 l’absence de contr\u00f4le total des loyers et le manque des mesures de protection des locataires, entre autres, continuent de d\u00e9savantager davantage les locataires modestes et mod\u00e9r\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Obliger la divulgation de la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 fonci\u00e8re dans toutes les provinces.<\/li>\n
  • Emp\u00eacher les propri\u00e9taires financiaris\u00e9s d’acheter plus des logements abordables. Fixez des limites au nombre de logements qu’ils peuvent acqu\u00e9rir.<\/li>\n
  • La SCHL devrait compl\u00e9ter le Fonds de co-investissement de la Strat\u00e9gie nationale sur le logement par un fonds d’acquisition qui permettrait aux organismes sans but lucratif, aux coop\u00e9ratives et aux fiducies fonci\u00e8res d’acheter des immeubles locatifs \u00e0 risque lorsqu’ils arriveront sur le march\u00e9.<\/li>\n
  • Corrigez imm\u00e9diatement l’\u00e9chappatoire fiscale de la Loi de l’imp\u00f4t sur le revenu qui accorde des exon\u00e9rations fiscales massives aux fiducies de placement immobilier (FPI).<\/li>\n
  • Tout financement soutenu par la SCHL\/financement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral aux propri\u00e9taires d’entreprise devrait \u00eatre li\u00e9 \u00e0 une garantie de non-d\u00e9placement ; des logements destin\u00e9s aux personnes ayant des besoins imp\u00e9rieux de logement, \u00e0 dur\u00e9e ind\u00e9termin\u00e9e abordables; et des normes minimales d’entretien et d’efficacit\u00e9 \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique.<\/li>\n
  • Construire au moins 1,2 million d’unit\u00e9s de logements abordables au cours de la prochaine d\u00e9cennie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
