S3E1 - Made in Housing: Building Economic and Social Sustainability in Community Housing

ONPHA Season 3 Episode 1

Community housing is more than a safety net, it’s a powerful engine for economic efficiency, social mobility, and inclusive city-building. As Ontario faces a growing housing crisis, doubling the community housing stock is not just necessary—it’s economically sound.

In this premiere episode, we explore the macroeconomic rationale for large-scale investment in community housing, while also reimagining it as a launchpad for thriving, equitable communities.
