Housing Studies Achievement Award (HSAA)

CMHC's Housing Studies Achievement Award, offered every two years, recognizes and rewards academic work theses — (Master's or Doctoral level) or major research papers/projects (Master's level) — that represent significant contribution to the understanding and advancement of housing in Canada.

Canadian Master's or Doctoral students studying anywhere in the world are eligible. Students applying for this award will be asked to send to CMHC a summary of their thesis (Master's or Doctoral level) or major research paper/project (Master's level) dealing with housing in any discipline.

Up to six students who are studying in fields related to housing will each be offered a one-time payment of $10,000 CAN.

The first HSAA recipients (two Doctoral and three Masters) were announced at an Awards Dinner in Ottawa on November 6, 2007. Copies of the Award winning theses have been deposited in the CMHC Canadian Housing Information Centre in Ottawa.
