Author Description

The members of the project team and the author would like to thank the Centre for Sustainable Communities, the Social Policy Research Unit and the City of Regina for their contributions in making this project possible. [...] The establishment of a long-term, well-resourced housing partnership, including all three orders of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the community, is the best vehicle for the successful development of affordable housing. [...] The primary purpose of this literature review is to help in determining the need for and feasibility of developing a long-term community housing partnership for the City of Regina in order that the issue of affordable housing may be addressed. [...] While the focus of this project is the development of a long-term housing partnership for Regina, inclusion of information on best practices in terms of project-specific partnerships will be crucial for the knowledge base and success of the overall project. [...] A brief discussion of the role and mandate of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the Canadian Centre for Public-Private Partnerships in Housing (CCPPPH), as well as of the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) is provided.
