Investors pursuing value-add or opportunistic strategies may acquire older buildings and then seek to \u201creposition\u201d them, displacing existing tenants to make renovations aimed at attracting new tenants who are able to pay higher rents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In cities across Canada, debates surrounding what is affordable are casting a critical light on whether the development of much-needed new purpose-built rentals is addressing or intensifying housing inequality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <style>\n        #anvil-wyswyg-block_61f86ae4f9749 {\n            color:#212121;\n            background: ;\n            padding-top: 20px;\n            padding-bottom: 20px;\n        }\n         #anvil-wyswyg-block_61f86ae4f9749 .row  {\n            justify-content:center;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n\r\n    <div id=\"post-selector-block_6283e7e31f940\" class=\"post-selector-wrapper  publication post-selector\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"row row-center\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"columns-10 block-grid-1\">\r\n\r\n                \n\n<article class=\"loop-item publication\">\n\n\n    <div class=\"columns-12 image-column\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ras10.png\">\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"columns-12 content-column\">\n\n\n\n\n        <h3 class=\"loop-title\">Investors for Affordable Cities: Responsible investment and affordable rental housing in Canada<\/h3>\n        \n        <h4 class=\"single-optional-subheader\"><\/h4>\n\n        <p>As the housing crisis deepens, the growing presence of institutional investors in the rental real estate market \u2013 a phenomena often referred to as the financialization of housing \u2013 is coming under scrutiny.

On one hand, institutional investors face reputational and operational risks when their housing investments are associated with evictions, tenant displacement or driving up local rents. The Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), for instance, was the subject of intense scrutiny when tenants in buildings it co-owned in a low-income neighbourhood in Toronto\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/3473811\/parkdale-tenants-who-launched-rent-strike-say-theyve-been-given-eviction-notices\/\">declared a \u201crent strike\u201d<\/a>\u00a0to protest rising rents in 2018. In Vancouver, where opposition to new housing developments has contributed to project cancellations, a coalition has formed to oppose a proposal from a REIT to build rental housing, calling it a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/vancouversun.com\/news\/revised-rezoning-for-broadway-commercial-asks-for-more-market-rental\">massive bomb of market housing, be it market condo or market rental, onto a community that\u2019s really suffering a housing crisis<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On the other hand, rising housing costs contribute to increasing levels of inequality and a shrinking middle class. This can create systemic risks for investors stemming from stagnating economic growth, declining consumer demand, and increasing economic and social instability.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The good news is that there are opportunities for investors to change the course of housing affordability as it pertains to their portfolios. At the\u00a0<strong>fund<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>governance<\/strong>\u00a0level, investors can embed housing affordability into responsible investment policies to provide a solid framework for investment decision-making.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <style>\n        #anvil-wyswyg-block_61f86b2bf974d {\n            color:#212121;\n            background: ;\n            padding-top: 20px;\n            padding-bottom: 20px;\n        }\n         #anvil-wyswyg-block_61f86b2bf974d .row  {\n            justify-content:center;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SHARE-InvestorsForAffordableCities-2021.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22177\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-980x551.png 980w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Untitled-design-7.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"anvil-wyswyg-block_61f86c7bf975d\" class=\" anvil-wyswyg\">\n\n    <div class=\"row row-center\">\n    <div class=\"columns-8 content-container\">\n        \n        <div class=\"contents\">\n             <p>At the\u00a0<strong>asset allocation\u00a0<\/strong>level, investors can designate a portion of their funds to affordable housing\u2013 either directly investing in assets or allocating to affordable housing funds.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, at the\u00a0<strong>stewardship\u00a0<\/strong>level, investors can incorporate housing affordability into their asset manager selection and monitoring criteria, and into their engagement with portfolio companies. For example, investors can ensure that their investments in publicly-listed vehicles such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are accompanied by engagements that address affordability. Last but certainly not least, institutional investors can add an important voice to policy discussions in support of meaningful measures to advance housing affordability in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 19, SHARE hosted an online forum on responsible investing and the financialization of housing, and introduced the Investors for Affordable Cities report.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BQHHP5klqtk\">A recording of the event can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>SHARE\u2019s ongoing work on housing affordability and responsible investment is generously funded by our partners at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/catherinedonnellyfoundation.org\/\">Catherine Donnelly Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vancouverfoundation.ca\/\">Vancouver Foundation<\/a>.
