Governments are flailing—and, so far, failing—as they try to put in place the necessary policies and incentives for the private, public, and non-profit sectors to accelerate the construction of the millions of new affordable units required to confront the crisis. [...] Finally, the Corporation works to “encourage and celebrate diversity and provide supports for individuals from various ethnic, cultural and religious groups” and “focus on achieving cultural sustainability by helping to enhance the quality of life and place and recognizing and addressing the needs of the diverse communities involved in projects” (UWCRC, 2023). [...] The successful design and construction and long waiting list of applicants for the project constituted the proof-of-concept and launchpad for UWCRC 2.0 to refine and replicate the model. [...] Managing the relationship with the Office of the President has proven to be an important and continuous function requiring the time, effort, and agility of UWCRC’s executive team and Board. [...] Currently, the UWCRC Board of Directors comprises solely senior executives of the University of Winnipeg and is chaired by the President of the university.
