Stream 2: Group C Unlocking Land for Housing: Models that work
Description
Access to land remains one of the most significant barriers - and opportunities - in advancing affordable and non-market housing. This session explores different models for land stewardship and partnership, including community land trusts, public land development, and Indigenous-led housing approaches. Panelists will discuss governance, policy, and collaboration strategies that move beyond short-term delivery toward lasting community benefit.
