The document discusses the Affordable Housing Trust, a proposed non-profit organization and funding model to address the housing crisis in Vancouver through building affordable housing units. The Trust would work with corporate and individual investors to buy land, build multi-unit housing developments, and sell 50% of units at market rate and 50% at below-market rates in perpetuity via deed restrictions. It provides examples of how different levels of funding could enable the Trust to take on development projects and expand to help other non-profits tackle the lack of affordable housing.

10. If 5% of Vancouverites
invested $2,000 each it would
enable the trust to build two
$30 M dollar projects at once.
Once the model is proven it
will be shared with other non-
profits to continue “Building
Solutions to the Housing
Crisis.”
