Supportive Government Policy & Programs

What we learned

Government policies and the relationship between the three levels of government can support or hinder aspects of inclusive housing. Notably, related to New Brunswick, we heard issues about: ​

  • Lack of alignment across levels of government
  • Lack of policy tools (e.g. incentives for development)
  • Restrictive policies limiting choice
  • Limited local government authority (they are mostly connected to community)
  • Limited voice of persons with experience in shaping policy
