In a landmark survey of more than 30,000 people around the world, new research by Habitat for Humanity International reveals universal concerns about housing and confidence in housing systems. The study finds that across countries, housing costs are affecting people’s ability to build financial resilience, support their families, maintain their well-being and build a future.

Research by Deloitte measures the deep and lasting impact of Habitat's affordable homeownership program on families and the economy. The socioeconomic gains of families who partner with Habitat are expected to lift Canada's GDP by an additional $35 million every year.
