  • Housing Is Health: What Dunn House Teaches Us About Upstream Care with Dr. Andrew Boozary

    Housing Is Health: What Dunn House Teaches Us About Upstream Care with Dr. Andrew Boozary
    Jan 29 2026
    In this episode of On the Way Home, Emmy Kelly sits down with physician and health-policy leader Andrew Boozary to explore what it looks like when housing is treated not as a social add-on, but as a core health-care intervention. Through the lens of Dunn House, a groundbreaking model built on land donated by the University Health Network and led in partnership with Fred Victor and a broad team of community, housing, and health providers, the conversation examines shifting care upstream, measuring outcomes beyond traditional clinical metrics, and designing integrated systems that respond to the real drivers of health. With compelling data, lived experience, and deep credit to the frontline teams who made it possible, this episode offers a clear and hopeful case for why housing and health must be treated as one system, and why models like Dunn House and housing are the future Canada must now scale.

    Reimagining Co-op Housing with Heather Tremain
    Jan 22 2026
    On this episode of On the Way Home, we sit down with Heather Tremain, Executive Director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto Development Society, whose career spans architecture, sustainable development, nonprofit transformation, and impact investing. Heather shares what “home” means to her, the journey that led her into social-purpose real estate, and why the renewal of co-op housing is so urgently needed today. She reflects on the often-underestimated strengths of the nonprofit sector, lessons from delivering nearly 900 homes at Options for Homes, the complexities of scaling affordable homeownership, and how strong cross-sector partnerships, from private developers to impact investors, can move solutions forward. Heather also explores the balance between sustainability and affordability, the policy shifts that could unlock progress, and the reasons she remains hopeful about the future of co-ops and nonprofit-led housing across Canada.

    Building for the Long Term: How Partnerships Power Supportive Housing in Ottawa
    Jan 15 2026
    In this episode of On the Way Home, Emmy Kelly is joined by Cliff Youdale, Chief Development Officer at Ottawa Community Housing, to discuss what it takes to steward and modernize more than $4 billion in community housing assets while planning for the future of supportive housing. Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a professional engineer, Cliff shares how preventative maintenance, capital repair, and green initiatives work together to keep housing stable for tenants, and how innovative partnerships like the BumbleBee Initiative are accelerating supportive housing by combining public land, development expertise, and integrated health and social supports. Cliff highlights how this approach is not only reshaping outcomes in Ottawa but may also offer a compelling possibility model for other communities looking to strengthen their housing continuum and reduce homelessness.
