Comparative Analysis of Mixed Model Develop - ments in Meeting Canadian Housing Objectives
Description The purpose of this research is to identify and demonstrate how mixed model developments can be achieved and sustained. This study will also promote a broader understanding of the key success factors for providing affordable housing within these mixed model developments. The research will involve analyzing at least nine mixed model projects across Canada, with a blend of locations and market sizes. Three of the projects will represent mixed tenure, three will represent mixed income and three will represent conversions of public housing to either mixed income or mixed tenure. The analysis will examine different definitions of mixed models, the opportunities and challenges of these models, their corporate and legal structures, and financial and partnership arrangements. The study will also focus on the physical structures and building types used, including information on affordability, number of units and target demographic. The analysis will explore the financial and market considerations in selecting the various models. Impact This study will provide key lessons learned and outline considerations when setting up affordable housing using a mixed delivery model, and how governments can better support these developments moving forward.
