Developmental Evaluation Report January 2022
Project Background The Build Together Project provided the Nova Scotian community housing sector (CHS) - defined as co-op and non-profit housing for the purpose of this project - with opportunities to share experiences, successes, challenges, and ideas for working together. The work will contribute to a collective understanding of the supports and resources required to be successful in developing and sustaining community housing programs, projects, and services. As illustrated in the Theory of Change below (Figure 1), the program aim is to better equip, support, and empower the community housing sector to contribute to the availability of safe and affordable community housing in Nova Scotia. Contributing to this overall goal were three outcomes: • • •
Identifying effective supports and resources for the CHS. Drafting a road map for support, mobilization, empowerment, and sustainability of the CHS. Mobilizing the CHS in Nova Scotia. This outcome is less tangible but essential in bringing people together and building the momentum toward the overall goal.
