The Halal Housing Lab - Award-winning Open Source Guide

Integrated design and planning starts with end user needs. The result is - most often, community accepted ideas, such as the the award winning "Halal Housing Open Source Guide."

This work was created through hard work and contributions of many partners, who came together to support research for Canada's National Housing Strategy.

Islamic families wait as long as 3 years for appropriate affordable housing in Canada. Not unlike the housing situation for some indigenous families in Canada, where large and extended families live under one roof, these families have specific cultural needs for family oriented design.

The design of family orientated housing can be affordable, it contributes greatly to good health by providing stable supports for many.
