Thinking Beyond the Market: A film about genuinely affordable housing
This film takes viewers across Canada to learn about policies, programs and projects that are already happening and already having a positive impact on addressing the housing crisis. From using public land to build non-market housing in Kitchener and Whistler, and inspiring Indigenous-led projects in Vancouver, to strong tenant protections and rent control in British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, the examples featured in this film demonstrate how many important solutions are making a difference in communities big and small. The film features interviews with more than 30 planners, policymakers, politicians, developers, residents and housing advocates from coast to coast and inspires and challenges viewers to think about the root causes of the housing crisis and transformative solutions.
