Projects

Living closer to campus makes student life… better!

Our vision is to transform the student housing experience into a journey of growth and self-discovery by creating affordable and cooperative housing designed for post-secondary students. Whether building new student homes or enhancing existing spaces, our goal is to make housing so seamless that students can focus on their personal and academic success without the stress of finding a place to live.

Projects

Our unique development approach works by creating chapters at campuses across Canada — our chapters are democratic vehicles for student renters and campus commuters to advocate for more affordable student housing options on/near (30 minutes from) campus.

Learn more about our presence across five Ontario university campuses and the progress we are making towards making housing affordable for all post-secondary students.
