Community Organizer Dinner On September 5, 2024, we hosted 21 community organizers from Toronto and Peel Region, for dinner, in appreciation for their incredible efforts to advance inclusive local planning economies. Following the Dinner, community organizers provided feedback to the resources being launched at this year’s RAP. We are proud that new connections made during the Dinner have sustained - organizers continue to share and build upon their strategies to centre the protection and development of affordable housing. Industry Solution Lab On September 19, 2024, at KPMB Architects studio on Queen St East, we hosted over 50 industry leaders in an interactive session to gather feedback on the core themes and solutions being launched at this year’s RAP. Participants represented a diverse spectrum of the planning economy, including philanthropy, finance, government, planners & architects, and developers. Thanks to KPMB Architects, who graciously sponsored this event by providing their beautiful space for the occasion. Feedback included the introduction and discussion on our Neighbourhood Investment for Targeted Yield of Affordable Housing Tool (NIFTY Tool), and our framework catalyst for community wealth building to unlock social and financial capital for accelerating affordable housing development. Feedback emphasized strengthening cross-sectoral and cross-community collaborations, workforce development, and enhancing economic resources. Guest speakers: • Amina Yassin-Omar (The Learning Enrichment Foundation) - presented a case study of Weston Mt. Dennis’ community-led planning and affordable housing development to address displacement. • Kirk Johnson (Eco-Efficiency Consulting) - highlighted the ULI Toronto Technical Advisory Panel on Jane and Finch, which focused on advancing low-carbon, equitable, and affordable transit and development solutions. • Steffan Jones (Partners for Affordable Housing) - presented case studies from Alberta and Ontario on collaborative approaches to securing investments for affordable housing. ----- We are grateful to be a part of this deepening community of leaders working to build and strengthen solutions to the ongoing affordable housing crisis.

What key messages should I be sharing on this world stage? On Nov 5th I'll be speaking at the Smart Cities Expo World Congress in Barcelona – one of the world’s largest and most influential events on urban innovation! My plan is to share about the incredible leadership that's coming from the grassroots -- and why municipalities are successful when they invest in solutions that resident leaders are empowered to champion. Housing is a human right --> that means our economy needs to invest in it accordingly. Largely, that requires investment into people. I am excited to use this opportunity to share the learnings I have gathered over the past 7 years. How we can work together, to implement Equitable Land Use Planning, a grounded measure and driving force for improving community well-being and creating more resilient cities.
