Wellesley Institute works in research and policy to improve health and health equity in the GTA through action on the social determinants of health.
Federal funding for housing, along with federal funding for social expenditures in general, is eroding. The Wellesley Institute’s short presentation to the town hall forum on the federal role in affordable housing provides a quick overview and sets out a key question for Olivia Chow, Bob Rae and the other federal politicians at the forum.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
