The CLT Festival is the culmination of four years work by SHICC funded by the European Union. SHICC-sponsored events will occur in September, while events sponsored by the Center for CLT Innovation will continue throughout the Fall and early Winter. And registration for SHICC and CLT Center-sponsored events is free! There will be simultaneous translation into English and French for all online events -- with the addition of Spanish for the Center for CLT Innovation's events.

"Beyond Housing" Applications of the CLT Model
DESCRIPTION: The CLT model is infinitely flexible, and can accommodate many types of development -- including no development at all (conservation).

In this webinar, our panelists will provide case study presentations about their organizations and projects, demonstrating the importance of using all the tools in your CLT toolbelt to create a diverse portfolio and set of programs.

SHICC (Sustainable Housing for Inclusive and Cohesive Cities) is a European project that aims to develop, support and disseminate the CLT/OFS model in Europe. SHICC is structured around three main themes: recognition of the legitimacy of the model, creation of a financial and legislative environment conducive to the establishment and expansion of CLT/OFS, and capacity building for existing and emerging CLT/OFS.
This Festival has been made possible thanks to the support of the SHICC project and the Brussels-Capital Region.
