Check out the informative Vancouver Sun article by Lisa Cardasco featuring Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society’s CEO, Lilian Chau, about the national report on the Municipal Role in Housing published this week by the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance and Urban Policy Lab at the University of Toronto.
