I'm Lucas, founder of Modivate Housing, a social impact business based in Kingston. Like many of you, I've seen friends, neighbours, and even family members struggle with the rising costs of housing - and I've experienced it myself.
For the past several years, I've been researching how other countries and communities address housing more effectively. I've also volunteered in nonprofits, worked in government and private consulting roles, and studied the social sciences to better understand how we can solve complex problems like this one.
Now, with the help of an incredible team of advisors, volunteers, and community supporters, we're ready to take the first big step: launching a pilot co-op housing project built using modular, sustainable methods. This community will serve as a model for other municipalities throughout the region, and demonstrate a grassroots pathway to affordable housing.
