About the process
Once your submission is made to the Federal Housing Advocate, you do not have to take any further action.
The Advocate will read your submission and consider how it relates to other people who have experienced the same issues related to adequate housing. The Advocate will then consider all of these issues together. The Advocate will submit an annual report to Parliament and make recommendations to improve these systemic housing issues for everyone.
How the submissions will help
If you have experienced homelessness or had problems with your housing, you can make a submission to the Advocate. Individuals and organizations can share their experiences.
Your submission will help the Advocate better understand systemic housing issues in Canada. The Advocate uses this information to tailor recommendations and solutions to specific communities and to those most in need, as well as drive change to housing policies, programs and initiatives.
