The Need for Affordable Housing

The podcast episode discusses the ongoing challenge of providing accessible and affordable housing for everyone. It emphasizes that the issue of housing consumes a significant amount of time and effort at all levels of government and communities. The episode highlights the importance of leveraging resources to stabilize the balance sheets of not-for-profit housing operators, enabling them to secure assets and finance future projects. By empowering and stabilizing these developers, it is suggested that the need for subsidies can decrease, allowing government resources to be focused on delivering housing for the most vulnerable populations.
