Welcome to the home page for the research project, Converting Government-Administered Public Housing to Tenant-Managed Non-Profit Co-operatives.

The overall purpose of this study is to analyze the change in government policy regarding the state’s role in providing low-income housing. Within that policy change we are studying a leading edge innovation in non-market housing, which has the potential to transform non-market housing provided by government (public housing) into a partnership with non-profits.  

Our case study is centered on the investigation of a leading edge experiment of converting a public housing project in Toronto (Alexandra Park) to a tenant-managed non-profit co-operative (Atkinson Housing Co-operative).
