          Everyone’s talking about housing.

                But are we asking the right questions?

                       What if it isn’t just a question of how much housing,

                                But what kind of housing and for whom?

Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing our country.

Everyone’s talking about it, and everyone has their own ideas about how to solve the housing crisis.

But what if we need to think bigger?

What if we need to think beyond what the market can do?

What if it’s not just a question of how much housing?

But what kind of housing, and for whom?

Join Dr Brian Doucet as he goes across Canada to learn about policies, programs and projects that are helping to ensure housing is a human right.

This film challenges us to think about the root causes of the housing crisis and how many solutions are hiding in plain sight!

Dr Brian Doucet is a researcher, author, filmmaker, photographer, award winning teacher and Associate Professor in Urban Planning at the University of Waterloo.
