Like many countries around the world, Canada has a housing crisis. 78.2% of Canadians can’t afford to live here. We calculated this number, based on Stats Canada information. 21.8% of Canadians earn over $100,000 per year, and financing the average priced home in Canada, requires this as a minimum income. Even renting an apartment requires an income of $88,000/year (at 30% for housing). That means the average Canadian, can’t afford to live here!
Help us change the narrative by supporting our affordable housing developments through the purchase of Community Bonds? As a registered Canadian not-for-profit corporation, we can issue bonds, that are backed by the assets of the communities we build.
These bonds will be available with 5 & 10 year maturity, paying a modest interest rate (planned 3.5%). The bonds are intended to help us build our affordable, cooperative communities across Canada, not generate huge profits for investors.
By completing the following form, you are indicating an interest in supporting our community developments, through the purchase of community bonds. We will use the information you provide to contact you, as we progress on our project.
** Completing this form is not an offer to purchase, nor an offer to sell our Community Bonds. It simply means we can contact when we have a bond issue available. **
