Coming soon! Housing in My Backyard: A Municipal Guide for Responding to NIMBY
The Affordability and Choice Today (ACT) program is developing a new guide on how to respond to NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) opposition to new housing developments. The purpose of the guide is to assist municipal officials and politicians in gaining community acceptance for sound, well-planned housing developments, including residential intensification projects, secondary suites or publicly sponsored, non-profit, supportive, lower-end-of-market or other forms of affordable housing. Readers will find strategies and tactics to support good housing developments in the face of community opposition.
The new guide will be launched at a webinar hosted by the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association (CHRA) on Thursday, October 29, 2009. The webinar will highlight some of the best practices used by municipalities across Canada, including strategies, practical tips, and tools to gain community acceptance for new housing developments. To register for the webinar, visit the CHRA’s website.
