How is the #CLT model being used to resist #gentrification? The latest paper in BSH & CNCLT’s research paper series examines how #CLTs are reclaiming community spaces by turning land and housing into community-owned assets: buff.ly/43aXM8j

The #CLT movement is accelerating. With a growing nat'l network, development plans for many CLTs underway, and emerging research from leading scholars, this land practice designed to protect neighbourhoods from #gentrification & speculation deserves our attention. buff.ly/41mBrDi

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

BC Rent Bank just released a new report on cost savings by preventing evictions. Almost $30 million dollars in household and government costs. If you care about the rising rates of #homelessness and rising #rents, then you should be supporting #rentbanks in your community.

earlier this year, i was interviewed by @cwhitzman.bsky.social for this university of toronto report on enabling missing middle housing. there's some good stuff in here we should also be looking at! (including single stair legislation) schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/wp-content/u...
