Partnerships Curriculum

There has never been a time in the history of affordable housing in BC where working together has been more critical. Our online Partnerships course provides the information and skills leaders need to successfully decide on and navigate partnerships of all kinds.

Program Overview

Partnerships, funded by BC Housing and developed by BCNPHA, has been designed specifically for affordable housing leaders and board members who make decisions about partnerships.
