Affordable Housing Challenge Project is an initiative of the University of Toronto School of Cities. The AHCP collective brings together scholars from across the University of Toronto, who are researching issues related to housing affordability from different disciplinary perspectives, with the objective of working together to research, discuss and debate the causes, processes, policies and consequences of declining housing affordability.

Event Description:
Join us for a free webinar on the evening of April 13th. Toronto is months away from debating and implementing Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) — a policy that could create thousands of affordable rental units every year simply by requiring developments include them. This event convenes academics, politicians, and activists to discuss their perspectives on the potential of IZ to address Toronto’s affordable housing crisis.
Speakers:
- Ana Bailão – Deputy Mayor, City of Toronto
- Update: Christine Ono (Senior Planner, City of Toronto) to join instead
- Steve Pomeroy – Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Urban Research Education (CURE), Carleton University
- Alejandra Ruiz-Vargas – Organizer, ACORN
