This guide is a resource for individuals and groups who want to develop, build, and operate affordable rental housing. Its development 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 (CMHC)'s Innovation Fund. RDN is grateful for their support, without which this project would not have 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 the CMHC
