"In Development" Episode 48: Beyond Brick and Mortar: Strategies for Sustainable Housing Solutions – A Conversation with Jonathan Lay, HomeEd
Join us for a candid conversation on affordable housing as we sit down with Jonathan Lay, Vice President in Projects for HomeEd. Jonathan brings a wealth of experience from his background in civil engineering to his current role in property management, where he's passionate about crafting communities that thrive.
In this episode, Jonathan breaks down the complexities of affordable housing, clarifying the distinction between affordable housing and housing affordability. We delve into HomeEd's mission of providing near-market housing, offering a blend of market rent and subsidized units to meet the diverse needs of Edmonton's residents.
Discover the faces behind affordable housing as Jonathan shares insights into the demographics of residents, from seniors to single-parent families and new Canadians. Together, we explore the historical trends and challenges in Edmonton's housing landscape and the innovative strategies employed by HomeEd to address these gaps.
From the Affordable Housing Strategy to zoning bylaws and financial support programs, Jonathan highlights the collaborative efforts needed to increase the availability of affordable housing. As we wrap up, Jonathan encourages listeners to educate themselves on affordable housing and advocate for inclusive community development.
