Affordable Housing

The FCP does have, within their policies, a plan for modular micro-homes. These pre-assembled units are very cost effective. Modules can be added during initial construction, or at a later date when needed.

It is important to address this, but at the same time we must ask where will the funds come from when we consider that provincial debt which is increasing at a rate of 59 million dollars per day just to service the debt costs), and it is our children who, as unregistered co-signers will be responsible for this.

One of the primary reasons for the lack of affordable housing is an increased need in supply due to family breakdown. According to Stats Canada single parent families are 12 times more likey to fall below the poverty line and be on social assistance.

As the demand for housing increases the demand for government dollars increases. Family Coalition Party is taking a long-term approach to the problem.

First of all, the increase family breakdown can, to some degree, be attributed to government policies that lead families to make decisions that are not necessarily in their best interests. We have policies designed to strengthen the family - empowering families to make decisions that are best for them. In addition we have incentives for families to engage in family finance courses, and marriage encounter seminars designed to build communication skills and relationship.
