The Canadian Housing and Renewal Association (CHRA) held its annual Congress in St. John’s last week, where we met colleagues from a sector with some of the highest potential in terms of uptake and success of social finance in Canada. Pre-Congress sessions included Finding the Money, Renewing the Mission: Social Finance, Social Enterprise & Affordable Housing, kicking off a week of workshops in the lovely, foggy capital of Newfoundland and Labrador.
As participants, we wanted to take the opportunity to provide an overview of the sector and its predisposition to social finance, and share what we learned last week.
