Resolutions

Whereas access to safe, affordable housing is essential to the wellbeing and stability of residents in Saskatchewan communities; and

Whereas local Housing Authorities play a critical role in managing and maintaining affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income residents; and

Whereas rising costs for maintenance, utilities, insurance, and staffing have placed significant financial strain on Housing Authorities; and

Whereas current provincial funding levels are insufficient to maintain housing stock, address deferred maintenance, or meet increasing community demand;

Therefore be it resolved that SUMA advocate the Government of Saskatchewan to increase funding to local Housing Authorities to ensure the sustainability, maintenance, and expansion of affordable housing in all Saskatchewan communities.
