The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Impact Canada recently announced a Housing Supply Challenge, inviting applications from across Canada to propose new ideas and solutions that break down the barriers that limit new housing supply. Round 1 of the challenge, “Data Driven – Data solutions for informed decision-making”, is now open, with applications due Wednesday, January 20, 2021.
UBC is only able to submit one application per round of the Housing Supply Challenge. We are therefore asking researchers to submit an expression of interest to determine whether an internal selection process will be necessary to determine which UBC application will go forward.
Researchers should indicate their interest in the competition by Monday, November 16th at 5 pm via an email to danica.kell@ubc.ca. All interested applicants will be contacted with details of the next steps before the end of November.
