How can we build more affordable housing in Canada?
What We Do
Build
Cahdco specializes in creating affordable housing by providing real estate development project management consulting to non-profit organizations in Ottawa & Eastern Ontario. Cahdco can assist in identifying the project concept and to test its financial viability and project feasibility. If the project is feasible then we can help manage the project development until it is built and tenants have moved in.
Advise
Cahdco provides real estate advice & capacity for government’s, non-profit organizations and faith groups seeking to create affordable housing. Cahdco can help your non-profit create a development strategy, help faith groups identify affordable housing partners and financially model development scenarios.
Teach
Toolbox+ by Cahdco is a national affordable housing development community of practice. Toolbox+ provides learning and networking opportunities that increase affordable housing knowledge and organizational capacity. Cahdco provides custom workshops on how to develop & finance affordable housing and GoNoGo, an affordable housing development role playing game.
