In November, in partnership with Concordia’s Next-Generation Cities Institute, Value Collective is shortlisted for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)’s Housing Supply Challenge. This innovation challenge invited applicants to identify a barrier to the development of affordable housing and propose a solution to address it. Concerned by the financialization of housing, Value Collective proposes a rent-free residency program in the context of a living lab for alternative economic practices.
