Comparative Analysis of Mixed Model Developments in Meeting Canadian Housing Objectives
Description This research demonstrates howmixed model developments can be achieved and sustained. This study also promotes a broader understanding of the key success factors for providing affordable housing within these mixed model developments. The research analyzes nine mixed model projects across Canada, with a blend of locations and market sizes. Three of the projects represent mixed tenure, three represent mixed income and three represent conversions of public housing to either mixed income or mixed tenure. The analysis examined different definitions of mixed models, the opportunities and challenges of these models, their corporate and legal structures, and financial and partnership arrangements. The study also focused on the physical structures and building types used, including information on affordability, number of units and target demographic. The analysis explored the financial and market considerations in selecting the various models. Impact This study provides 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.
