Join us for two (free) innovation workshops as we consider approaches towards Broadening the Base of resources to create 1,000 new affordable homes in Ottawa.
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); Norm Tasevski (Purpose Capital); James McGregor (Montreal R-REIT); Tessa Hebb (Carleton University)
