Mike Moffatt & Jared Zaifman discuss the new Fed/Prov Housing Affordability Plan

Episode Summary

Late last month, Prime Minister Carney and Premier Ford launched an Multi Billion Dollar Housing Affordability Program that’s likely to have a significant positive impact on the housing market - right across the country. Mike Moffatt and Jared Zaifman are joining us today to take a deep dive into the details of the plan. The program the Prime Minister & Premier launched is called “Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build" and, it’s big. It’s an $8.8 Billion Dollar initiative designed to accelerate housing construction, here in London and right across the Province. Dr. Mike Moffatt holds a Ph.D. in Management Science from Ivey Business School and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Rochester. He’s worked with politicians and policymakers of all political stripes in several countries to craft more effective public policy. He’s the founder of the University of Ottawa's Missing Middle Initiative (MMI), the co-host of the Missing Middle Podcast and so much more. Jared Zaifman is the CEO at The London Home Builder’s Association and he is a former member of London’s City Council. Over the past several months, Jared has taken several trips to Toronto and Ottawa with Provincial and Federal Home Builder Association colleagues to meet with government officials and to lobby for the policy changes that we’ll be talking about today.
