Housing affordability and finance series

The project documented innovative approaches and "best practices" for creating affordable housing from the Canadian non-profit and municipal housing sector. Fifteen case studies provide considerable detail on the strategies and means that were used by each of the groups to create affordable housing units. These involve new ideas in tenure such as life lease, condominium, equity ownership and co-housing and also new ideas in financing such as partnerships, land leases, fundraising and others. All are explained in detail with specific project financing and client data. The reasons for success are listed and contracts with the lead organizations are given. The information in the report would be valuable to groups and organizations who provide or deliver affordable housing such as: housing co-operatives, non-profit organizations, charitable organizations, and municipal and provincial housing agencies.
