On August 8, 2011 the Government of Saskatchewan released A Strong Foundation - The Housing Strategy for Saskatchewan 2011-19 and the 2011-12 Provincial Action Plan, which outlines government's key activities for the strategy's first year of implementation. This precedent-setting strategy involves the entire housing sector and promotes a housing environment where all Saskatchewan people have access to homes that enhance their well-being, build local communities and contribute to a growing province.

In March and April 2011, the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) held strategy consultations with more than 350 housing stakeholders throughout the province to tackle these issues and set out tangible solutions. These discussions resulted in five broad strategic priorities:

• Increase the housing supply;
• Improve housing affordability;
• Support individuals and families in greatest housing need;
• Enhance strategic planning for housing; and
• Collaborate, communicate and educate.

Across the province, housing experts stated that every member of the housing sector has a role in providing housing solutions. It is anticipated that everyone in the housing sector will fulfill their respective roles in creating solutions to Saskatchewan's housing challenges.
