| + | '''Description:''' |
| + | |
| + | Public hearings have recently come under scrutiny due to the housing crisis. In fact, some provinces like B.C. have moved towards a prohibition on public hearings. In this interactive session learn from the findings of the Renovate the Public Hearing Initiative, a $2.5 million CMHC-funded program led by Amina Yasin, Director of Planning and Public Hearings at Simon Fraser University’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue that has spent the last two years researching, piloting and evaluating alternatives to public hearings and innovative approaches to public participation in land use planning. This session will delve into the question of ‘what’s the big deal with land use public hearings and what comes after prohibition?’ Come prepared to participate, possibly engage in some deliberative activities and learn more about evidence-based solutions that tackle inequity and increase inclusion, reduce risk in pre-development, and enhance democratic resilience, ranging from procedural changes within public hearings to robust models of upstream engagement such as mini-publics, including B.C and Canada’s first Residents’ Assembly tied to an Official Community Plan and the future of digital engagement platforms. |

The Fund will preview its Strategic Housing Acquisition Resource Platform (SHARP) which is a cloud-based mapping application designed to help non-profit applicants identify strategic and impactful acquisitions through the Fund.

− | In a time of seismic societal change, the meaning of home is undergoing transformation. But though traditional residential designs are becoming increasingly unattainable for many, our core psychological requirements from home remain unchanged and are written deeply into our biology. Our thoughts feelings and behaviour are so strongly conditioned by psychological reference to home that true homelessness is almost impossible. But the nature of home and its impact on wellbeing can vary enormously. In my presentation, I will describe some of the neural underpinnings of home and place attachment and the way the design of the places where we dwell can influence attachment and thereby promote wellbeing. I will describe the development of recent methods in cognitive neuroscience and environmental psychology that allow measurement of the impact of design variables, including sensory properties like size, shape and texture and functional properties that promote our feeling of agency. I will conclude my presentation with some recommendations for key principles from neuroscience and that could guide the development of housing policy for these challenging times. | + | In a time of seismic societal change, the meaning of home is undergoing transformation.

| + | |
| + | The considerable magnitude of the Canadian housing crisis can be daunting and leave stakeholders of all varieties, from government actors, developers, lenders, not-for-profits, and everyday citizens asking themselves “what can be done to preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing?” This session contributes to that conversation by taking a closer look at non-traditional financing models for affordable housing that adopt a community-centric lens, provide enticing business cases for non-government actors to invest, and emphasize tangible solutions that can contribute to improving the affordable housing supply in the immediate term, as well as for future generations to come. Join this knowledgeable panel of speakers as they advocate to strengthen and scale innovative financing solutions such as community bonds, rental protection funds, and others that harness the power of social impact capital. |
