A disruptive approach to building social housing just might be the answer

The cost to build social housing has become prohibitive for many not-for-profit housing organizations, but an innovative approach between a developer, a credit union and a housing provider proves that new ways of thinking are needed to build more social housing in our communities. On this episode of Searching for Solutions, Lori Beech, Executive Director of Bethlehem Housing and Support Services talks about a unique partnership with PenTerra Development and First Ontario Credit Union that created the largest social housing project in Niagara. It's a new way to finance, build and maintain a housing complex that gives the housing provider the space and resources to help those in need.
