Building the movement to decommodify
March 7th - 9th, 2025
Concordia University, Montréal / Tiohtià:ke
The Housing Justice Convergence's aim is to unite tenant unions, housing NPOs, and housing advocacy groups to amplify grassroots perspectives and catalyze nationwide collaboration around Canada's housing crisis.
The battle for framing the housing crisis, its causes and solutions, is heating up. How the problems and solutions are defined will have profound impacts for decades to come, with low-income and marginalized populations disproportionately living with the results.
The intention of the Housing Justice Convergence is to empower housing activists to validate and build power for their policy demands, and clarify the stakes for policymakers ahead of the federal election. In addition to enabling folks working on the ground with practical tools (such as how to work with media and how to finance housing projects) and showcasing tenant union wins from across the country. Through these efforts, we aim to foster a collaborative event that drives impactful action and long-term solutions for the housing crisis.
