Non-Market Housing Models in Ontario: A Stakeholder Analysis‪.‬

Abstract The purpose of this study is to apply a stakeholder analysis to the restructuring of Ontario's non-market housing system from 1990 to the present. The analysis breaks down the key stakeholders involved in non-market housing and then looks at the functions each performed in 1990 and at present. This analysis is done for each of Ontario's four non-market housing models--public; non-profit co-operative; private non-profit and municipal non-profit. The non-market housing models were intended to remain distinct, but the findings from our stakeholder analysis reveal a pattern of shifts in stakeholder responsibilities in areas of management and administration, a pattern that has greatly reduced the distinctiveness of these models. This pattern is interpreted in light of the neoconservative agenda that has led to the downsizing and decentralization of government functions.
