Resilient i Resilient housing is built to withstand worsening weather events. This can be achieved through design and siting features that protect homes from flooding, rising sea levels, wildfires, extreme temperatures and power outages.

Affordable i Affordable housing ensures no Canadian spends more than 30% of their income on shelter costs. This can be achieved through social housing, below-market rents, lower tenant costs, lower energy bills, lower insurance costs, lower construction costs, and affordable purchase prices.
