Factors affecting outcomes of housing projects

Abstract

This research paper examines the factors that affect the outcomes of housing projects. While broadly trying to answer the question, ‘what makes housing projects work?’, this paper also seeks to better understand the context in which these projects come into being. There are a number of factors that influence the priorities, process and outcomes of housing projects; research, reflection, and discussion of these factors—both between and within groups seeking to establish housing—can strengthen individual housing projects, and can improve the overall state of housing in Haliburton County. Briefly then, there are no easy answers to the question at hand—only more questions, and the requirement that those interested in housing attempt to better understand the many possible answers to these questions.
