Mixed Tenure Partnership Guide
The Mixed Tenure Partnership Guide is intended for non-profit housing providers that are exploring the idea of obtaining ownership or a long-term lease in a privately led new development project. Partnerships between non-profits and developers are becoming more commonplace in British Columbia building on the availability and increasing use of local government tools that require non-market units in multi-unit development projects.
This Guide provides clarity and direction to non-profits who are exploring new partnerships and addresses key questions such as:
- What does a non-profit need to know about the development process and their role in it?
- What kind of stake can a non-profit have in a private development?
- What questions does the non-profit need to ask when exploring a partnership?
- What are the financial commitments and risks of partnership in a mixed-tenure building?
The Guide was commissioned by BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA) and developed by CitySpaces Consulting. Through a combination of research, key informant interviews, and a focus group with non-profit sector leaders, the contents of this Guide reflect the experiences and best practices found in the sector at the time of writing.
