Supporting housing that's equal and equitable for all

The Equal Housing Initiative is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Not-For-Profit Canadian Charity based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our mandate is to bring evidence based best practice, advocacy and practical support for the creation and sustainability of housing that is equal and equitable for all.
