ASCHA is advancing efforts to socialize our four key advocacy priorities: Optimization of Alberta’s Housing Continuum and Stock; Influencing Continuing Care Transformation; Capital Investment, Planning and Renewal; and Organizational Funding Models, Regulation, and Policy Reform. These priorities were identified and supported by our membership and advance the housing sector’s key positions on continuing care and assisted living, affordable and community housing, and Alberta’s Seniors Lodge Program. Through extensive data collection, research, member consultation, and collaboration with our allied organizations, partners, and government ministries, we have developed a framework document to communicate our findings and recommendations. The Right Housing, The Right Supports, The Right Time: A prevention-focused agenda for Alberta’s housing and supports system, positions housing as foundational to prevention and broader systems reform. This document outlines how the sector is responding to change, while navigating various issues impacting service delivery and achieving the housing and support goals of communities, and the province as a whole. The framework guides decisionmakers on how we can work to build a stronger housing and supports system that ensures more Albertans remain stable, connected, and supported in the places they choose to call home.
