Presenting Canada's housing system / [David Crenna].: NH15-104/1995E-PDF

"Our homes form the stage upon which so much of daily life is played. They are essential to physical survival. They provide the calm centre of inspiration, security and repose, the cauldron of squabbles, and the engine room of family economies. Yet how do homes come to be the way they are? What is the "system" for building housing, getting it to those who need and want it, paying for it, keeping it in repair, and demolishing it when it is no longer required? How do houses as structures, as "machines" with many parts, become "homes" for people? These are the subjects of this booklet"--Introduction.
