    The second event in WLI BC's Certificate Series on Development Partnerships will focus on introducing the Mixed Tenure Partnership Guide developed by CitySpaces Consulting which was commissioned by BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA).

    Participants will hear from Noha Sedky and Spencer Andres of CitySpaces Consulting, Byron Chard of Chard Development, and Brenda Ulmer of YWCA Metro Vancouver where they will discuss the Guide, lessons learned, and how strong partnerships enable innovative and successful projects.

    The Mixed Tenure Partnership Guide is intended for non-profit housing providers that are exploring the idea of obtaining ownership or a long-term lease in a privately led new development project. Partnerships between non-profits and developers are becoming more commonplace in British Columbia building on the availability and increasing use of local government tools that require non-market units in multi-unit development projects.
