Understanding and Responding to Neighbourhood Decline and Renewal
Prepared by the Canadian CED Network (CCEDNet) for the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association.
Within a CED approach, housing initiatives can strengthen neighbourhoods by rehabilitating or adding to housing stock, while also contributing to social inclusion, social capital, employment opportunities, access to services and an improved quality of life for residents. With its focus on redirecting economic and social benefits to community members, CED can play an important role in protecting neighbourhoods and residents from the unintended negative consequences of gentrification.

Creating Capital Pools to Support Social Enterprise Development in Manitoba
This project is part of a larger body of research being completed under the title Creating Policy to Support Social Enterprise Development in Manitoba. Prepared by the Canadian CED Network (CCEDNet), this publication studies how other jurisdictions have created large scale, viable social enterprises that meet CED principles, whereas Winnipeg has tended to create small, grant dependent social enterprises while following the same principles. The research examines the factors that have led to success elsewhere, and draws conclusions about how to replicate the success of other jurisdictions in Winnipeg.

Government Policies towards Community Economic Development and the Social Economy in Quebec and Manitoba
Prepared with the Canadian CED Network (CCEDNet), this paper explores CED & Social Economy activities in both Quebec and Manitoba and recent government policies in support of them. It seeks to separate out the similarities and differences between the two provinces and their underlying causes. It also suggests what might be unique about the two situations and, where this is thought not to be the case, what lessons others might usefully learn from them.
This publication is part of the Linking, Learning, Leveraging SSHRC-funded research project investigating the Social Economy. This project is comprised of multiple community partner organizations, academic researchers, and university students. See the Project Overview for more information.
