IMPORTANT
The initiative focuses on completed or near completed research activities.
This research:
- increases knowledge in one of the National Housing Strategy’s priority areas
- addresses a priority action area identified by CMHC’s President — this year the theme is Improving the Financial Viability and Sustainability of Affordable Housing in Canada
Your research should aim to address these questions:
- Does the research deepen our understanding of the barriers and potential solutions to improving the financial viability and sustainability of affordable housing in Canada?
- Does the research provide new knowledge, tools or approaches with the potential to strengthen the financial viability and/or sustainability of affordable housing projects over the long term?
This year’s President’s Medal theme seeks to highlight research that improves our understanding of the barriers and opportunities to improving the financial viability and long-term sustainability of affordable housing projects.
Examples of potential research may include studies that offer new insight or evidence into:
- green building features that pass energy savings along to owners and occupants
- innovative financing models for community housing
- novel approaches to reduce capital and operating costs
Research into other measures that ensure the overall financial sustainability of affordable housing and contribute to the economic health of communities will also be considered.
