HOUSING SECTOR TRANSFORMATION
Business Transformation in the Community Non-Profit Housing Sector
Description The Business Transformation II study is the first in Canada to examine skillsets and core competencies that the non-profit housing sector needs to transform and future-proof their businesses. The findings of this study are based on 213 survey responses and interviews with representatives from 21 housing organizations across Canada. In response to changing operating environments, housing organizations are adjusting their management and business approaches. An insider perspective shows how these housing organizations are responding to new opportunities and responsibilities. This includes undertaking business transformations and increasingly employing methods that have traditionally been associated with private sector organizations. The first study, Business Transformation I: Promising Practices for Social and Affordable Housing in Canada, explored emerging business practices and new approaches to the development, operation, and sustainability of social housing in Canada. Case studies based on a survey and a series of interviews were examined to document and understand the extent to which social housing organizations, including both funders/regulators and providers, are innovating. Impact These studies support the non-profit sector in building capacity to achieve long-term viability, sustainability and self-sufficiency.
