How is your project going so far?
With the 2022 CityLAB theme focused on contributions to the Housing Investment and Strategy Plan, the sector my team is challenging under the housing continuum is known as Affordable Ownership. In our project, we have identified that this area of the continuum is experiencing features of funding constraints, backlog in planning resources and inflated external market values. However, by engaging in meaningful dialogue and consultations with stakeholders we have shifted focus on project deliverables that can improve the connections and logistics within the City of Hamilton's engagement. Therefore, we look to overcome the challenges facing Affordable Ownership through a grassroots approach and coordinate tangible ways to alleviate the current housing pressures.
