    A case study on non-market affordable rental housing in the City of Vancouver, presented by Jesse Miller, Director of Development at TL Housing Solutions (TL).  

    According to CMHC, in 2016 approximately 1.7 million Canadian households (out of 13.4 million) were in core housing need.  To help address this core need, TL partners with not-for-profit societies, housing providers and cooperatives to develop non-market initiatives from seniors’ care to affordable ownership for the missing middle.

    Learn what it takes to develop affordable housing as Jesse provides a high-level overview of key components needed, using the Kinship Housing Co-operative in Vancouver’s River District as a successful case study.
