Canada is facing a major housing challenge. To close the gap between supply and affordability, we’ll need to nearly double the number of homes built each year, according to CMHC. Meeting this target isn’t just about building more, it’s about building smarter.
In this session, EllisDon Community Builders will be joined by Victoria Park Community Homes and Blue Door — two organizations doing the work on the ground to create more affordable housing. Together, they’ll share honest lessons from the front lines: what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what needs to change to build at scale.
You’ll hear candid insights on:
- Navigating funding gaps and fragmented approval processes
- Balancing speed, quality, and long-term community impact
- Leveraging standardized, scalable models tailored to local needs
Be inspired by ideas and strategies to help scale up affordable housing in ways that work for your community.
