The aim of this paper is to start developing OECD data and knowledge on housing policies and the degree to which OECD countries pursue social policy objectives through housing policies. The paper also identifies possible strands of work that can be carried out by the OECD Secretariat to help member countries learn from each other’s experiences. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Alison Homer](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/hubfs/Photos/Staff%20Photos%202026/Alison%20Homer%202.jpg) ### By [Alison Homer](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/vclibrary/author/alison-homer) Advancing a vision of ending poverty in Canada, Alison provides leadership and drives excellence within Communities Ending Poverty (CEP).
