National Organizations
A variety of national and provincial/territorial organizations that are involved with housing undertake or commission housing-related research. These may be non-profit, non-governmental organizations. At the national level, the majority are members of NHRC, among them:

• The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which undertakes research for national policy development from the perspective of Canada’s municipalities
• The Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA), which examines issues of concern to housing consumers, communities within which residential development takes place, governments, and the home building industry
• The Canadian Housing and Renewal Association (CHRA), which looks at affordable housing issues on behalf of its members, including non-profit and public housing organizations, municipalities, other organizations and consultants and academics interested in affordable housing
• The Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (CHF), which addresses specific needs and issues relating to housing cooperatives
• The Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations (CFAA) represents the owners and managers of more than one million residential rental suites in Canada

Provincial Organizations
At the provincial/territorial level, organizations also undertake housing-related research.  These include, for example, the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA), the British Columbia Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA), and the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia (AHANS).
