It was fantastic to work with Sean Worth, Jade Azim, and Paul Chamberlain on this important if worrying report that was also featured in The Times last week. While Labour has committed to building and to targets, it is clear that these targets will need to be stretching and come alongside a wider long-term housing strategy to deliver the homes that are needed. #UKhousing #planningreform

#NIFA presented to the League of Nebraska Municipalities last week on our progress implementing the Nebraska Strategic Housing Framework. As part of the presentation, our team highlighted the Nebraska Strategic Housing Council Pillar 2 toolkit for municipalities, which provides guidance and advice for communities to fast-track affordable housing projects. #HousingFramework #NSHC #AffordableHousing #WeMakeTheGoodLifeBetter

Housing is top-of-mind for most communities in British Columbia. The rising cost of living, housing affordability, and other factors affect the housing supply. Communities need to look inward to build solutions to meet their current and future housing needs. This panel will explore innovative #cooperative solutions to the #housing crisis and navigate the funding landscape. You’ll hear stories of successful housing developments and different ownership models that can tap into available funds and tackle the housing crisis head-on. The panel will be led by Co-operatives First and feature the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC and BC Housing. bceda.ca/summit

Here's Premier Doug Ford's update on Hamilton's housing target revolves around Ontario's broader initiative to build at least 1.5 million new homes to keep housing costs down and help rebuild the province's economy. Ford emphasizes collaboration rather than overriding municipal planning to force high-density housing in every neighborhood, highlighting the importance of working together with mayors and councils to meet housing needs tailored to each community. In his approach, Ford stresses the importance of setting clear targets, holding municipalities accountable, and rewarding their success. He mentions providing municipalities with necessary tools, including strong mayoral powers and significant funding, to support housing development, referencing a three-year, $1.2 billion program aimed at rewarding municipalities for progress against their annual housing targets. Hamilton, in particular, has exceeded its 2023 housing target by breaking ground on 4,142 new homes, leading to the presentation of a Building Faster Fund check of more than $17.5 million to the city. This fund is intended for community development and infrastructure projects that facilitate more housing. Furthermore, Ford underscores his belief in local decision-making over provincial imposition in planning and development, arguing that municipalities are best equipped to decide the appropriate mix and placement of housing in their areas. He contrasts this with the idea of imposing uniform high-density housing solutions, such as four to eight-story buildings, in residential neighborhoods, which he believes could lead to issues such as parking congestion and community disruption. Ford's narrative aligns with the principle of localized decision-making, leveraging partnerships with municipal governments to achieve housing targets while respecting community character and infrastructure capacity. This approach underscores the emphasis on collaboration and shared goals between provincial and municipal levels of government to address Ontario's housing challenges. #hamilton #hamiltonrealestate #buildinghomesfaster #BuildOntarioTogether #HamiltonHousingSuccess #MunicipalPartnership #CommunityFirstDevelopment #AffordableHomesForAll #LocalSolutionsOntario #BuildingFasterFund #RespectOurNeighborhoods #OntarioHousingTargets #SustainableCommunitiesON https://lnkd.in/gUZjv9T6

Proud to be a part of a collaborative team working together to create solutions to the affordable housing issues in our communities. As Cindy states in the video, developers often need subsidy from many different sources in order to fund affordable housing projects. One of the best ways is using New Markets Tax Credits for affordable for-sale housing because it is patient, upfront capital. We need more investors and CDEs to realize the impact using NMTCs makes in this space with it being the only federal tax credit for affordable FOR-SALE housing! Homeownership is so important for economic growth and stabilizing our communities! #AffordableHousing #HousingCrisis #BuildingCommunities #EquitableHousing #HousingSolutions #CommunityDevelopment #HousingForAll #newmarkets #taxcredits #nmtc
