Associate Camille Mitchell recently contributed her expertise to the Urban Land Institute’s Technical Assistance Panel (TAP). This initiative, organized by ULI Toronto in collaboration with the ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing, was held in March and focused on preserving apartment affordability around transit in Toronto's Jane Finch Community.

The TAP was convened at the request of the Confronting Anti-Black Racism (CABR) unit of the City of Toronto and CP Planning. Over several days, a diverse group of stakeholders, including community leaders, public agencies, private developers, and non-profit organizations, came together to explore strategies for maintaining affordable housing in Black communities, particularly as transit-oriented developments continue to shape the area.

Camille Mitchell, alongside other TAP members, volunteered her expertise, bringing SvN’s commitment to equitable and inclusive urban development to the forefront of this discussion. The panel’s findings and recommendations aim to provide a neutral, expert perspective on preserving affordability and ensuring that developments serve the existing community.
