Your learning journey

Explore a dynamic program designed to empower housing professionals.

Check-out these sessions we’ve just added: 

• Getting Housing Built: Reducing Barriers to Development – Too many housing projects get stuck before they start, slowed down by outdated approval systems, inconsistent fees, poor coordination, and unpredictable costs. This session brings together municipal leaders, developers, and community housing providers who are taking action to modernize how housing gets built. Learn more.

• From Rootlessness to Rootedness: Decolonizing Housing and Homeless Services – Indigenous homelessness goes beyond lacking a physical roof. It is rooted in colonial policies that sever ties to community, family, land, culture, identity, and spirituality. Join us to explore how research and stories guide meaningful change in Indigenous housing and homeless services.  Learn more.

• Design Matters: Elevating Affordable Housing through Innovation – The urgency to build affordable housing quickly is real, but rushing risks creating buildings that function as holding places rather than communities. Drawing on real-world examples and lessons learned, see how innovation at every scale can meaningfully improve quality of life for tenants and long-term outcomes for housing providers. Learn more.
