NAC – Who We Are And Why
For All Canadians
The National Apartment Council (NAC) is the federal voice of Canada’s private apartment developers. Through advocacy, research, and national coordination, we support a thriving, sustainable apartment sector that meets the needs of Canadians today and tomorrow.
Canada needs 430,000 new rental or housing starts per year to restore access for all Canadians.
For the Private Developer
- Private Developers have built the majority of apartments in Canada
- There has never been representation for this group and this is needed for helping the government make informed decisions
- With the government’s focus on our housing crisis, good advice equals better decisions
- Federal issues are key to the long-term apartment industry in Canada
- It’s time to reshape the leadership and image of the private apartment development industry
Social Impact
A strong apartment sector is about more than buildings—it’s about people. When development is feasible, predictable, and cost-effective, more Canadians can access housing that meets their needs. The National Apartment Council’s efforts help drive:
- Greater housing access and affordability: More homes built faster means Canadians spend less time in housing limbo and more time living securely.
- Healthier communities: Housing is a core social determinant of health. When people are stably housed, they experience better health, education, and employment outcomes.
- Reduced inequality: Lower-income households benefit when supply increases and prices stabilize – a win for equity and economic mobility.
- Improved economic productivity: When workers can afford to live near jobs, businesses thrive, and urban infrastructure is used more efficiently.
Canada is facing a housing affordability crisis. Without action, we risk deepening social division, eroding opportunity, and sacrificing the future of our children. Rental housing must be part of the solution.
A well-functioning rental housing system contributes to Canada’s resilience, social cohesion, and long-term prosperity. National Apartment Council’s advocacy isn’t just about construction—it’s about unlocking opportunity.
