The Affordable Housing Partnerships Initiative (AHPI) can provide up to a maximum of $50,000 per unit for new affordable housing. Council has set a goal of seeing 200 units per year built in Calgary with AHPI funding. In March 2003, the City received $9.15 million from AHPI for the 202 unit Manchester affordable housing project, now under construction. It was hoped that in 2004, private and non profit developers would avail themselves of the opportunity to use AHPI funding. To date, only two other applications have been approved: a 16 unit application from the City of Calgary and a 36 unit application from a non profit developer. While there are some private and non profit developers working on proposals, there is a high likelihood that without further direct City action, Council’s 200 unit goal will not be met in 2004.
This report recommends that Council authorize the Administration to initiate a Request for Proposals (RFP) process immediately. The process would be designed to solicit proposals from private developers to build non-market, affordable housing for the City of Calgary. When completed, this housing would be managed by the Calgary Housing Company.
Many rural and urban communities in Louisiana have high rates of obesity and diet related chronic disease and experience limited access to food retailers selling affordable healthy food. At the request of the Louisiana State Senate, the Healthy Food Retail Study Group (the Study Group) has prepared a report which explores this problem and reviews its consequences and practical solutions.
This report first provides a succinct explanation of the importance of access to healthy food retail, as well as viable strategies to improve access in underserved communities. It then summarizes key findings from relevant scientific research conducted in Louisiana. The third section of the report contains the recommendations of the Study Group.
In the last three decades, the Chinese economy has been characterized by persistently high investment rates and phenomenal growth rates (Song et al., 2010). Yet, considering that the Chinese financial system is poorly developed, this can been seen as a puzzle (Allen et al., 2005). Several authors have tried to find explanations for this puzzle. Among these, Ayaggari et al. (2010) focus on the role of informal finance, and conclude that it is not because of their access to informal financial sources that Chinese firms were able to grow, despite limited access to external finance.
