MICHAEL FLANIGAN + ARMIN AMROLIA PRESENTATION
Canada's first ever National Housing Strategy is a 10-year, $40-billion plan. It is the largest and most ambitious federal housing program in Canadian history and will require the collaboration and commitment from all partners including provinces and territories, municipalities, and the private and non-profit sectors.
Join our panel of experts who will provide details on both federal and provincial affordable housing project funding opportunities. Project requirements and expected outcomes will be outlined, and details on the application process for accessing project funding will be provided.
Andrew Middleton, Affordable Housing Specialist at CMHC will provide details on the objectives of the National Housing Strategy. He will outline new funding programs, and will provide examples of the types of projects which would have a high potential of obtaining funding through the Strategy.
Michael Flanigan, Vice-President of Development & Asset Strategies at BC Housing and Armin Amrolia, Associate Vice President, Development Strategies at BC Housing, will provide details on BC Housing's new HousingHub, as well as new funding programs and partnership opportunities.
