Nate Steeves, He/Him/His
Tell us about yourself:
Hello, my name is Nate Steeves. I am currently in my 3rd year of Combined Honors Arts and Science, and Physics. I was born and raised in Hamilton, both in the Downtown and East End. I was drawn to CityLAB SIR because it is an opportunity to learn about the City in a more engaging way than the classroom. I care deeply about Hamilton and want to be able to afford a house here as an adult, but this is becoming more and more unlikely. I hope to help make lasting changes to the housing landscape in Hamilton, and make renting and home ownership one less thing people have to worry about. The focus on project management, creative problem solving, and community engagement will be helpful as I pursue a career in urban planning, architecture, or building development.
How is your project going so far?
The project my team is undertaking addresses the transitional housing system. We hope to make recommendations to address key concerns we have identified from stakeholders. Some of these include government funding, relief and aid processes, and collaboration between organizations.
