Partna Housing - Scattered Housing Trust Model Design

This project will examine the feasibility of a new trust structure for holding scattered-site housing, through a pilot called Partna. Partna provides financing (private, charitable, & government), planning, and other supports to create affordable housing through partnerships with homeowners to form a scattered community housing trust. These partnerships use financial tools, policies, and incentives to build affordable housing through new storeys, basement improvements, laneway home construction, or other improvements. The scattered portfolio will be managed through new coownership, lease, and other types of agreements. Other scattered trusts include those listed in the attached academic research by the University of Toronto and Boston University. The approach aligns with the NHS knowledge mobilization framework to build public awareness of evidence-based practice/police alternatives, as Partna coordinates with local community groups CP Planning has relationships with  W9, 12, 19.

Survey goal: 30-50 responses

  • Research Q1 "What design of real-estate/planning/other law will support this program?"

    • Method 1: Consultation with real-estate/planning and housing experts

    • Method 2: comparative studies of other scattered land trusts

  • Q2 “How much of their land are owners willing to sell (or give up the use-right) in both average, and maximum terms, and what compensation do residential owners expect to be paid for giving up these use-rights in average and maximum terms?”.

    • Method 3: Community Survey

  • Q3 “What costs are tenants of Partna home tenants willing to pay through their lease, by average and maximum terms and for what types of leases by average and minimum terms, size, house type, and number of bedrooms."

    • Method 3: Community Survey
