[homeles_ot-l] Invitation - Broadening the Base Innovation Workshops (free!)

[Mike Bulthuis]

Join us for two (free) innovation workshops (registration info below)

. as we consider approaches towards Broadening the Base of resources to
create 1,000 new affordable homes in Ottawa.

 

Ottawa is a caring community, and together, we have made progress towards
adding to our affordable housing in many parts of the community. Yet,
critical gaps remain. It's time to foster a community conversation on
innovative approaches to enhance availability of affordable housing.  What
tools might be available? What might we learn from elsewhere?

 

Wednesday October 15, 2014: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Beaver Barracks, 464 Metcalfe

 

The Overall Picture: How might we create 1,000 units? Where might the land
be? What kind of housing projects could we develop? Speakers will reflect on
a variety of project types, from mixed housing to land trusts, from private
development to non-profit housing. 

 

Speakers: 

.         Randal Goodfellow (Broadening the Base); Dennis Carr (CAHDCO);
Graeme Hussey (CCOC); Saide Sayah (City of Ottawa); others may be added. 

 

Wednesday October 29, 2014: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Beaver Barracks, 464 Metcalfe

 

Financial Mechanisms & Philanthropy: Developing 1,000 units will require
substantial financial capital, some borrowed and some philanthropy. What are
some potential mechanisms / approaches? 

 

Speakers: 

.         Chris Henderson (Broadening the Base); Tim Brodhead; Norm Tasevski
(Purpose Capital); James McGregor (Montreal R-REIT); Tessa Hebb (Carleton
University)
