Space for Community: Understanding the Real Estate Challenges Affecting the Social Purpose Sector

SPRE Coordinator — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:33:49 +0000

MAJOR NEW STUDY. Space for Community: Understanding the Real Estate Challenges Affecting the Social Purpose Sector in BC turns anecdote into evidence documenting the impact of soaring real estate markets on organizations that support the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, employees and communities.

While headlines are dominated by housing affordability, all markets including commercial and social purpose are feeling the same impacts, hurting small businesses AND the not-for-profit, social enterprise and artist sectors. When these social purpose groups lose their ability to secure affordable space for their work, communities suffer—as does the economy, the environment, and our social and cultural community ‘glue’. Not being able to find, keep and maintain affordable, suitable space impacts the ability of social purpose groups to provide health, community and childcare programs, programs for youth, seniors, and vulnerable populations, environmental leadership, not to mention all of the arts and culture that enriches our lives and communities.

Land for Community Benefit - Social Purpose Real Estate Collaborative & Housing Research Collaborative

SPRE Coordinator — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 15:45:20 +0000

June 18, 2020 Land For Community Benefit Final Report.

With the arrival of the Covid19 Pandemic, many not-for-profits and social enterprises were called to the fore—supporting society and vulnerable populations to safely move through the crisis, all the while seeing their operating contexts and financial sustainability massively altered. The crisis has daylighted risks and vulnerabilities in our current system, with a real estate market that has for decades severely challenged space for affordable housing, social and community services, childcare, arts and culture, small business, etc.

On June 18^th, the Housing Research Collaborative and the Social Purpose Real Estate Collaborative, with the support of Vancity Community Foundation, hosted an online dialogue focused on the need to secure land for community benefit at a time when our society is dealing with unprecedented threats to its economic and social sustainability.
