Dr. Carolyn Whitzman, University of Ottawa, presented a report on May 3/23, to Ottawa’s Planning Committee on ways in which it could significantly increase the supply of affordable housing. “This report models four ‘prototype projects’, typical of opportunities within Ottawa, and shows that non-profit housing on free land with tax exemptions, fee waivers and rapid approval enablers, can provide affordability to moderate and median-income households without any additional subsidy.” This kind of work is why we wanted her as a speaker in Hamilton!
