| dc.description.abstract | Winnipeg has experienced low vacancy rates for many years. In 2016, its average vacancy rate was 2.8%. The lack of rental units can partially be attributed to an increase in population growth. Between 2008 and 2018, 20,000 immigrants are expected to have arrived in Winnipeg. In addition, the average family size has decreased over the last decade; more units are now being occupied by single people and couples rather than families with children. With one-third of Winnipeggers as renters and housing prices becoming less affordable, the city is in a housing crunch. This practicum explores strategies that may be used to increase affordable rental housing stock supplied by the private sector in Winnipeg. It examines strategies used by other Canadian cities that may be applicable to Winnipeg. | en_US |
