Project Overview
The Mixed Tenure Partnership Guide is intended for non-profit housing providers exploring the idea of obtaining ownership or a long-term lease in a privately-led new development project. Partnerships between non-profitorganizations and developers are becoming more commonplace in British Columbia building on the availability and increasing use of local government tools that require non-market units in multi-unit development projects.
Key Highlights
The Guide offers clear direction for non-profit organizations considering new partnerships, addressing key questions such as:
- What should non-profit organizations understand about the development process and their role within it?
- What types of stakes can non-profit organizations hold in private developments?
- What questions should non-profit organizations ask when exploring potential partnerships?
- What are the financial commitments and risks involved in partnering on mixed-tenure buildings?
Commissioned by the BC Non-Profit Housing Association and developed by CitySpaces, the Guide is informed by a combination of research, key informant interviews, and a focus group with sector leaders. Its content reflects the experiences and best practices prevalent in the non-profit housing sector at the time of writing.
