This tool is a proof of concept that demonstrates the potential for linking housing data from multiple sources with a future goal of estimating the volume of deeply affordable housing units, where they are located, and how this is changing over time.
LEMR is an interactive tool developed to understand changes in the supply of deeply affordable rental housing in the City of Toronto.
LEMR was developed by Purpose Analytics as a short-listed project through the Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation’s Housing Supply Challenge Data Driven Round.
Purpose Analytics is partnering with the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, BC Non-profit Housing Association, Ontario Non-profit Housing Association, and the Community Housing Transformation Centre in applying for second stage funding to scale this proof of concept to major urban areas across Canada.
