Purpose Capital, in partnership with the Carelton Centre for Community Innovation, released a report based on their study of how social finance models could be applied to the settlement and integration (S&I) sector in Canada. The report was produced for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada with a purpose to map the social finance landscape as it relates to settlement and integration (S&I) services, and to evaluate the potential benefits of a social finance approach in this area.

Social Finance for the Settlement and Integration Sector summarizes the trends and models that link S&I and social finance, reviews potential opportunities for social finance, and includes a comparative analysis of the models across several dimensions.
