A 9-Minute Video of the Transformation...
Places for People aims to help solve these problems by:
- Buying run-down property
- Renovating this property with community input
- Renting at affordable rates
- Allowing tenants to accumulate assets
- Providing social supports neccessary to ensure a successful tenancy
This approach:
- Serves the underserviced in our community
- Strengthens the community
- Improves our housing stock
This is how we do it:
Provide tenants with long-term affordable rental housing.
This makes the family's shelter secure, allowing them to afford other life necessities and make progress on other issues.
Set aside in a trust fund a small amount of the rent the tenant pays, for their future.
Without having any impact on their small budget, tenants are able to build an asset that will help them move forward when they are ready.
Provide appropriate social supports for each family.
Give each family access to the resources they need to help get skills and education to move forward. This also grows a mutual sense of belonging that serves everyone.
Renovate old buildings into new housing in locations within walking distance to shopping, schools, and medical care.
This improves existing housing stock, increases housing capacity, and improves the streetscape.
