Founding Story
In 2019, Habitat for Humanity GTA and St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society negotiated a historic $17 million contribution seeded by Toronto developers to launch an affordable housing land trust. The trust was initially created through a collaboration between Toronto developers Capital Developments and Metropia, the City of Toronto, Habitat for Humanity GTA, St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society, and community group Build a Better Bloor Dufferin, in order to deliver community benefit from the new 2,200 unit development planned at Bloor & Dufferin. It was formalized in early 2020 through the creation of a federally registered not-for-profit corporation called Community Affordable Housing Solutions (CAHS).
