Broadening the Base (BtB) is a community-centered, collaborative and
inclusive Ottawa initiative with the goal of catalyzing and leveraging land,
property, philanthropic and development resources to support the building of
1,500 new affordable housing units over the next five years; to provide
sustainable, long term and affordable accommodation for key vulnerable
populations including: individuals who are chronically homeless; low income
families with young children; youth at risk; Aboriginal people, and;
vulnerable seniors.

 

BtB is based on a community engagement and design process.  Through 2014 and
into early this year, BtB involved extensive consultations with community
organizations, and received strong support to move to the next stage.  Thus,
through 2015 and into early 2016, BtB will move into a Design Phase to
determine how key affordable housing support pillars including: a Land
Trust, new Partnership Housing Models, a Philanthropic Campaign and a Social
Impact Fund could most effectively become a base of accelerated affordable
housing efforts in Ottawa.  Read more at:
