Great housing outcomes don’t happen by accident. They happen by design. 

Community housing is already creating value far beyond the homes themselves. It supports healthier communities, strengthens public systems, and helps address some of Ontario’s biggest challenges. 

At the same time, the way we plan, fund, and support housing does not always reflect the full impact it creates.  

If housing delivers value across healthcare, social services, and communities, what would it look like to design around that reality? 

Join leaders from housing, government, economics, healthcare, finance, and development to explore what it takes to build a housing system designed for greater impact. Across three plenaries, we’ll examine how to make the case for investment, build the systems that support housing success, and scale solutions across Ontario.
