The Board has established a search committee to lead a comprehensive recruitment process and is seeking a leader who will build on CCHR’s mission and continue strengthening its programs, partnerships, and impact.
The Board also announces with deep gratitude the departure of outgoing Executive Director Annie Hodgins. Annie is concluding a 13-year tenure with the organization after leading a significant phase of strategic growth and development.
During Annie’s tenure at CCHR, the organization expanded from a small Ontario-based organization into a nationally recognized leader in housing rights, growing its budget five-fold, building new departments, and launching many new initiatives with national reach. Annie played a central role in this transformation, advancing the organization’s policy impact and systems-change work, strengthening community engagement and fundraising, and building institutional capacity and effectiveness.
Annie is a trusted voice in the housing sector, who has worked closely with governments, funders, and community partners to advance systemic solutions and human rights-based approaches that promote housing security for all. She is widely respected for her strategic, collaborative leadership style, her commitment to evidence-based policy, and her ability to lead organizations through periods of growth and increasing complexity.
The Board thanks Annie for her significant contributions and lasting impact on the organization and the sector and wishes her every success in her next chapter. We are confident she will continue to create significant social impact and foster a better Canada, where everyone has the right to housing.
