Scaling affordable housing development with the power of community investment

This initiative provides a platform, administrative support, and project consulting to help community housing providers in raising low-cost capital through community bonds. It enables regular Canadians to contribute to meaningful local projects.

Tree to Home

One Bowl

This Indigenous-led Standing Tree to Standing Home approach addresses housing supply chain challenges and opportunities in partnership with First Nations. It will create local economies for market housing and improve the quality, quantity, and affordability of housing within Nations. This will be done by using innovations in timber construction and a social enterprise framework.

Prequalified digitally designed for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) "blueprint" designs and prefabricated modules and components for mid-rise residential structures

BC Housing

Modular manufacturing: An integrated approach to drive mass uptake

UTILE

This initiative will facilitate the large-scale adoption of modular construction, focusing on student housing as a consistent, high-volume end-product. It is establishing a consortium of stakeholders dedicated to identifying and solving barriers across the modular construction delivery chain.

The Middle Housing Platform

mddl

This project is sharing the tools, designs, and step-by-step approaches that enabled mddl to deliver hundreds of middle housing units. To achieve this, the project team is collaborating with municipalities, industry, and homeowners to identify the most practical and efficient pathways for gentle density. These strategies are designed to empower the delivery of more housing for and by a diverse range of multi-generational users.

Speeding up construction with communal services at the local level

Rural Impact

This project will simplify the administrative process for adopting communal service systems instead of individual private ones like septic systems. This change will enable more housing options and allow higher density construction in rural municipalities.

Promise Robotics

The project will scale a ready-to-deploy homebuilding robotic factory as-a-service™ designed for autonomous and rapid production of timber-based buildings. Promise Robotics manages automation, allowing partners to focus on homebuilding. The goal is to scale decentralized manufacturing of prefabricated buildings.
