For Those Who Need Help

Developers with a continuous history of working in their field do not need our help.  If your group is not a professional developer, you likely do.  Those who do a one time development, infrequently develop, or are creating specialized housing usually do not carry the skill needed to ensure the job is done on time, on budget, and true to the mission.

Groups which rely on a committee of volunteers who, while well meaning and competent in their own work, do not have the time to provide the coordination and attention to detail needed. "We can do this ourselves," is usually the first statement leading to failure.  

Once in a lifetime, with so much at stake, is no time to learn on the job.  We have often seen groups flounder around for years making serious mistakes that can only be overcome by time and more money.

Our experience in housing and supportive living facilities, as well as an understand of the general development process gives us great flexibility in being able to assist a variety of clients create the development they desire. If you are in or headed for in that situation, talking to us costs nothing.

Possible Options

There are several options today that you may wish to consider if you are looking at developing housing or other specialized facilities.

A new affordable housing program jointly funded by Federal and Ontario government offers an opportunity to create affordable housing in your community.  This program is available to for-profit, private sector groups as well as traditional non-profit organizations.  It is a very flexible program but does require that groups are able to contribute some equity, such as land or to do fund raising.  

We are currently working with Bethlehem Projects in developing a 40 unit rental building in Niagara Falls.  Construction will start in March 2009.  If you have interest it pursuing this kind of development, contact us at 905-687-6722 or by email.
