WHY WORK WITH US
By working with Raising the Roof,
you gain a partner with a proven track
record in affordable housing delivery.
Mission Alignment
Residential development is complex on its own. Affordavble housing development adds further layers including funder requirements and timelines, coordination across multiple levels of government, resident and community engagement, operational planning, and long-term financial sustainability. As a charitable housing developer, Raising the Roof understands and has experience managing both the technical development process and the broader realities of creating housing that remains affordable and responsive to community needs.
Specialized Expertise
Our team brings practical experience in housing development, property acquisition, finance, fundraising, government relations, construction, and housing operations. We can manage the technical details while keeping your organization informed and involved in the decisions that matter.
Experience Across the Development Cycle
Raising the Roof is currently managing a growing portfolio of affordable and supportive housing projects across Canada. Our work includes property acquisitions, renovations, adaptive reuse, new construction, and projects delivered in partnership with community organizations.
We bring lessons from our completed and operation projects and current active projects to every client engagement, helping organizations anticipate challenges, manage risk, and move promising housing projects forward.
Full Cycle Support
We customize our role to complement your team and add value wherever you need it most.
Raising the Roof was able to offer their expertise on building our dream and making our dream come true. As the Executive Director of a very busy and growing organization, I get very excited about these big picture projects, but I also know I don't have the expertise to build, I don't have time to run a project and neither do any of my staff. What Raising the Roof has been able to offer is that expertise. Building affordable housing is what they know. It is not what I know.
