Social enterprise is extremely important for poverty reduction. I'm part of a research team from Westman centre for real estate studies out of the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business. Haskayne, Westman centre in particular, has tried to shift the discussion in Calgary from affordable housing into housing affordability, because it's about sustainability. It's about finding market solutions to these poverty problems, to the housing problems.
As far as what the college can do, there's a lot.
