203 Designing for transformational change
Elgin, second floor
Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) is often used to reduce the
fear and incidence of opportunity crime, but a
fully implemented CPTED also has the ability to
influence desired behavior. Learn how Peel Youth
Village used CPTED to transform a problem-
plagued youth shelter and community centre into
a place where homeless youth want to live and
community members want to play, increasing
everyone’s quality of life and sense of community.

204 Rebuilding trust within
troubled communities
Provincial Ballroom North, second floor
Community safety is an ongoing issue in many
social housing communities. Despite concerns
about safety, challenging relationships between
the police and residents often limit or prevent
collaboration amongst housing providers,
residents and the police. In this session, discover
how two housing providers created safer and
more engaged communities: Ottawa Community
Housing through working directly with residents,
and the Housing Commission of the County
of Los Angeles (HACLA) with the police. Both
strategies have empowered residents to take
ownership of their communities resulting in
positive growth.

one-time funding into permanent
housing solutions

Learn how fellow housing professionals are
leading change and transforming the sector!
Building from recent discussions amongst sector
leaders through CIH Canada (Chartered Institute

this session will explore exciting initiatives being
undertaken across Canada, including scaling
up, opportunities for regulatory changes and
