National Housing Day Forum

Each year the City of St. John’s hosts a National Housing Day Forum. The event is designed to raise awareness around housing issues and support community capacity building in the housing sector.

2023 National Housing Day Forum: Building Affordable Housing – From Idea to Reality

Bringing a housing development from idea to reality can be a complicated venture. This can be even more challenging when the goal is to develop affordable housing.

The City of St. John’s 2023 National Housing Day Forum aims to demystify this process and build capacity in our local housing sector.

• Date: Wednesday, November 22, 2023 – 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Location: Foran Greene Room – City Hall 4th floor, 10 New Gower St, St. John’s NL

Partnering with the Centretown Affordable Housing Development Corporation (Cahdco), this year’s event will include:

• A 101 seminar in affordable housing development.
• An engaging role play game called GoNoGo, in which participants will collaborate to move developments towards greenlight status with coaching from Cahdco facilitators.
• A networking opportunity to discuss projects with Cahdco over lunch.

Cahdco is a non-profit real estate developer that is focused on increasing Canada’s affordable housing by developing projects, consulting, knowledge sharing, and network-building.
