The Community Housing Transformation Centre

To drive transformation, growth, resilience, sustainability and inclusiveness in the community housing sector, the Centre offers support in two forms:

1. Technical assistance and tools to increase the capacity of community housing providers by leveraging the centre’s existing expertise, networks and resources.
2. Funding grants to support community housing providers and community organizations who are exploring new and more efficient business models, or raising awareness and supporting the implementation of new and improved tenant engagement practices.

The goals of the centre will be to:

• Help community housing providers find new solutions to their challenges.
• Identify gaps and collaborate on solutions.
• Find promising transformative practices to study and scale up.

The Centre currently offers three services:

1. Sector Transformation Fund provides non-repayable contributions to support the longer-term evolution of community housing providers’ business models.These contributions aim to encourage the development of more efficient and resilient business models without displacing low-income households.


2. Community-Based Tenant's Initiative to support tenant and member advocacy groups by raising awareness and implementing of new and improved tenant engagement practices.


3. Resource library offering a database of technical support, tools and resources to connect community housing organizations to proven solutions.

Funding for the Sector Transformation Fund will be available to community housing providers (non-profit, social housing or co-operative) or sector service providers.

Funding for the Community-Based Tenant Initiative will be available to organizations that work with tenants, tenant associations, community housing providers (non-profit, social housing or co-operative) or sector service providers.
