This year, one of our priorities at Communities Ending Poverty (CEP) is to build capacity around the social role of local government. As communities face increasingly complex social challenges, local governments face a call to action to be active collaborators towards positive social change. Throughout 2024, we will be sharing stories, webinars, and other tools and resources related to the vital role that local governments play in addressing social issues.
For local governments to help address social issues there is no need to stretch far, just a little deeper. Learn how to manage expectations; step into the social realm; navigate how to contribute much-needed capacity for effective community change; and co-create healthy, vibrant communities.
This blog post explores how local governments can lead the work to address one of the highest social and economic priorities in Canada today - secure, affordable housing.
