SUMMARY:Buying what others can’t see: Student Housing NS’ acquisition strategy
DESCRIPTION:Finding affordable housing opportunities in today’s market requires more than waiting for the right property to be listed. It requires a proactive acquisition strategy\, strong due diligence practices\, and the ability to think like a developer. \nJoin us for a conversation with Mitchell Archibald\, Executive Director of Student Housing Nova Scotia\, a community housing provider that has successfully expanded its portfolio through a strategic approach to acquisitions. In a market where the best deals are not always publicly advertised\, Student Housing Nova Socia has developed practical methods to identify opportunities\, negotiate effectively\, compete for properties\, and hold its own in a market dominated by private developers. \nParticipants will gain practical insights into Student Housing Nova Scotia’s acquisition experience\, including why it is important to work with the right team and how to adapt the mindset to pursue growth while remaining mission driven. \nModerated by Amanda R. Knight\, Program manager at the Centre\, this session will explore key questions facing many community housing organizations today: How to identify the right acquisition opportunities? What should they look for during due diligence? And what conditions should never be waived too early in a purchase agreement? \nTopics of the discussion will include: \n\nAdopting a strategic acquisition mindset.\nBuilding an effective acquisition team.\nChoosing the right real estate agent.\nIdentifying acquisition opportunities that are not publicly listed.\n\nThis webinar is designed for executive directors\, development managers\, asset managers\, board members\, and community housing leaders seeking practical strategies to grow their portfolios and increase their long-term impact. \nNote: This webinar will be offered in both English and French through simultaneous interpretation.

SUMMARY:From vision to action: The strategic journey of Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society
DESCRIPTION:Watch this session with Lilian Chau\, CEO of Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society (ENFHS)\, sharing how and why this housing provider needed to evolve into a growth-oriented organization with strong development\, financing\, leadership\, and partnerships. The webinar was moderated by Severn Nelson\, Program Manager for British Columbia. \nAs a part of the Centre knowledge sharing series\, this webinar explores how ENFHS has undertaken a major strategic shift by adopting an approach focused on partnership capacity and business mindset in service of a charitable purpose. It also highlights the critical role of resolute strategic thinking\, organizational self-exploration grounded in theory of change\, and internal capacities (including governance\, financial expertise\, and leadership) as essential foundations for organizational growth. \nThe complexity of the housing crisis\, rising costs\, and growing demand\, combined with expiring operating agreements\, made it clear that a purely operational focus would not be enough to meet community needs or ensure organizational sustainability. \nIn this recording\, you’ll find practical guidance on how to: \n\nShift from an operational focus to a mission-led entrepreneurial focus that can sustain itself and grow despite funding environment shifts;\nBecome a housing provider capable of delivering large-scale\, mixed-income communities while maintaining deep affordability and equity\n\n  \n“A lot of organizations already do strategic planning\, but I would say that we really need to look at the future\, and assess the health of the organization\, as well as scanning the landscape. I guess another thing I would say is\, don’t start with a project. You really do need to start with understanding your organization. \nMore than ever\, strategic planning is really critical to understanding where your organization is at right now\, and where you want to go in the future.” \nLilian Chau\, CEO of Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society \n  \nWatch the webinar replay: \n \n  \nWant to learn more?

SUMMARY:Consolidating to secure the future of organizations and the housing stock: Strategies from Eastern Quebec
DESCRIPTION:In a context of limited financial resources\, a need to preserve the housing stock\, and a lack of leadership succession in rural areas\, consolidation is becoming a key strategy for protecting and developing community housing. \nWatch this session featuring David Barbaza\, Executive Director of Fédération des OSBL d’habitation du Bas-Saint-Laurent\, de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine (FOHBGI) and President and Co-founder of Logéco\, who shared practical insights from a community housing organization consolidation initiative in Eastern Quebec. The session was moderated by Jonathan Fleury\, Program manager Québec. \nIn Eastern Quebec\, several small non-profit housing organizations manage a sometimes-aging housing stock with limited resources\, making it increasingly difficult to maintain services and keep buildings in good condition. It is in this context that a structural transformation has been implemented\, led by the FOHBGI. This initiative resulted in the creation of Logéco as a central mechanism and regional safety net to pool property management\, standardize practices\, and strengthen professional support to members. It has also fostered a new culture of collaboration and solidarity across the region. \nAs a part of the Centre knowledge sharing series\, this recording explores what made consolidation both relevant and feasible\, how it was implemented\, conditions of success\, and what concrete changes it brings to the stability and growth of the regional community housing stock. \nWhether you are a leader\, board member\, or manager of a community housing organization\, this recording is designed to provide insights and offer guidance on assessing the potential for consolidation to join forces in a strategy for resilience and growth. \n  \n“Communication is 75% of the work when it comes to consolidation. You really have to listen and be supportive. We’re here to offer organizations a framework and a future for their buildings. It’s a collaborative approach\, and the solutions are tailored to each organization. Decisions are made together. I like to go back to the etymology of words: “consolidate” comes from “con” and “solidare”\, which means we’re building something solid together.”\nDavid Barbaza\, Logéco \n  \nWatch the webinar replay (audio interpretation in English) : \n \n  \nWant to learn more?

SUMMARY:Save money with energy-efficient retrofits and construction
DESCRIPTION:Energy efficiency is often perceived as expensive\, complex\, or out of reach for community housing providers. But what if many of those assumptions are misconceptions? \nWatch this session exploring the realities behind energy performance in community housing\, with Dami Dabiri\, Energy Manager at the BC Non-Profit Housing Association and FCM’s Regional Energy Coach for British Columbia\, and Majed Hargaaya\, Manager of the Regional Energy Coach Program at the Centre. \nDesigned for housing providers\, asset managers\, and sector leaders across Canada\, this session unpacked common myths about energy efficiency and discussed the benefits of environmentally responsible solutions.
