About Us

Our initial hardworking and resourceful steering committee included members with background in affordable housing, law, financing, architecture, project planning, computer science, geology, etc.

In 2017, we become an incorporated non-profit society and elected board members who are experienced in affordable housing on Salt Spring Island and bring a diverse set of skills and experience.
