This guide is a resource for individuals and groups who want to develop, build, and operate affordable rental housing. The development of this guide was funded in part by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy's Innovative Solutions to Homelessness, and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Innovation Fund. The ARDN is grateful for their support, without which this project would have not been possible. The opinions and interpretations in this publication are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of Canada or CMHC.
