Event Details

Join us March 21, 2013 at 12:00 noon EDT for the release of the report “Blended Financing for Impact: The Opportunity for Social Finance in Supportive Housing”.


Hosted by the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing and Housing Services Corporation (HSC) in collaboration with the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC).


Driven by the work of the Turning the Key report commissioned by the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), a number of supportive housing providers in Canada struck a Social Finance Working Group in 2012 to explore social finance opportunities in the supportive housing sector.  The objective of the project was to provide a clear pathway for supportive housing providers to learn about and engage in alternative methods of financing for improving and developing new dedicated housing units in Canada.


The project provides an important development step, convening the sector and building its capacity around innovative financing methods for supportive housing providers and providers of mental health services in Canada. Overall, it is hoped that this project will support the minimum goal recommended in the Turning the Key report of developing and funding 100,000 supportive housing units and related supports over the next 10 years.


This webinar will feature findings from the project team’s key report, which was co-authored by Adam Spence from the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing and Hadley Nelles from Housing Services Corporation (HSC).


Blended Financing for Impact: The Opportunity for Social Finance in Supportive Housing identifies and outlines a number of social finance models, identifies principles for an effective social finance strategy for the supportive housing sector, highlights challenges to further adoption of impact investing, and offers recommended actions to increase the supply of supportive housing through the use of social finance strategies.
