Building affordable housing starts long before construction begins. In this episode Marlene Coffey sits down with Mwarigha, Vice President of Housing, Asset Sustainability and New Development at WoodGreen Community Services, to explore one of the biggest barriers facing new housing developments: securing the funding needed to get projects off the ground. They discuss a proposal for a Provincial Affordable Housing Revolving Fund and how it could help community housing providers bring more affordable homes to Ontario.
