This study documents the challenges and potential solutions to building social capital and increasing community participation across income, race, ethnicity, language, immigration status, physical and mental health and ability, age, family status, gender and sexuality. As a mixed-income social housing project diverse in these different ways, the Shefford Cooperative in Ottawa, Canada provided the ideal case study environment.

520 $a This study documents the challenges and potential solutions to building social capital and increasing community participation across income, race, ethnicity, language, immigration status, physical and mental health and ability, age, family status, gender and sexuality. As a mixed-income social housing project diverse in these different ways, the Shefford Cooperative in Ottawa, Canada provided the ideal case study environment.
520 $a Challenges to building social capital and increasing participation included: ideologies of exclusion, insufficient communication and conflict resolution skills and mechanisms, and the fast-paced and higher standard realities of urban, industrial life that are leaving those with poorer social skills behind.
520 $a It is impossible in urban, industrialized societies for everyone to share the same norms, nor is it desirable. Often people who are marginalized are expected to adapt to majority norms, which causes tension. Issues of power and internalized oppression matter in social capital formation. Diversity itself is not an impediment to building social capital, but rather judgments and structural exclusion that have a negative socioeconomic impact. This study proposes the notion of status capital as a subset of social capital. When judging whether to trust others or engage in or deepen a relationship with someone, the other person's status is evaluated.
520 $a Some strategies that can mitigate the challenges of building social capital and increasing participation in diverse communities include: creating free neighbourhood conflict resolution centres, which would offer mediation services, referral to other community services, and free communications skills and conflict resolution skills workshops and certification; building social and economic inclusion through literacy, universal programs, and respectful services; building an ideology of inclusion through consultation with excluded groups about how this might be achieved; investing in early childhood development so that every person has the best chance to develop good social and communication skills to their full potential; promoting mental wellness; and outreach to isolated individuals and groups.
520 $a The study used mixed methods: in-depth interviews with 25 out of 48 Shefford co-op members collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, 10 key informant interviews, participant-observation over a period of five years, policy analysis of the Ontario Social Housing Reform Act, and autoethnography.
