Started 12 years before the Bloomberg administration's 2013 claim of starting a " first-of-its-kind disaster housing program, creating modular apartments uniquely designed for the challenges of urban living" in New York. http://observer.com/2012/11/home-sweet-shipping-container-nycs-secret-plans -for-the-perfect-disaster-apartments/ Restarted and ended it in 2007/08, another 5 years before BC's Atira project. My Discovery: In Canada, social enterprises are often in danger of becoming political enterprises, controlled by a local political class that takes control for personal political advancement: Projects get stuck in political time, entrepreneurs need political approval to move forward, the project starts serving bureaucratic turf needs, and that takes precedence over addressing the social problem with new solutions. The Lesson: To change the world quickly and positively, bring great products and services to your customers with private citizen-run enterprise and enterprising non-profits that are completely apolitical. Use your business to help society in the ways you choose.
