Addressing large-scale challenges to housing, such as ensuring widespread housing security across Canada, requires national collaboration.
It is why Adrienne Pacini, an OCAD University graduate in the Strategic Foresight and Innovation Program and partner at SHS Consulting, is bringing people together with lived experience, subject matter experts, as well as those from the non-profit and community housing sectors to address this challenge.
She is leading a series of innovation labs on topics such as creating new housing tenure models, scaling a community land trust, levelling the playing field in the housing development sector and realizing the right to housing in Canada.
Many of these initiatives have led to new approaches to involving the community in conversations about the future of housing, renewed strategies for non-profit housing providers and a shift in the national dialogue about the role of the community housing sector.
