Every dollar given to Reimagine goes into something you can stand in front of: land, lumber, and six front doors that change six households' lives — then dozens more after that.
Land is expensive. Building is expensive. We're determined to find a way — and the campaign is live now.
Our flagship design is a six-unit courtyard home from the CMHC Housing Design Catalogue — four units at the front, two at the rear, arranged around a shared courtyard that makes neighbours out of residents. Because most available lots have a 30-foot frontage, we've also selected two CMHC fourplex designs, so the first build can move ahead on the land we can realistically secure.

Because the Courtyard Sixplex comes from the federal Housing Design Catalogue, the architectural heavy lifting is already done — a complete technical package designed to speed up municipal approvals and reduce soft costs. Less money on paperwork. More money on homes.
Combined with federal financing programs under Canada's Housing Plan, every donated dollar is leveraged, not just spent. Read more on our Housing Strategy page.
A four-to-six-home micro community in British Columbia — courtyard sixplex or narrow-lot fourplex, matched to the land. $4M goal for land purchase and construction.

One-time or monthly, personal or corporate — here's what generosity builds.
Helps cover the everyday costs of getting a non-profit build off the ground — permits, applications, outreach.

Sharing our campaign with your network is one of the most valuable things you can do — it finds the donors, partners, and future residents we haven't met yet.
Trades, architecture, law, accounting, fundraising, ASL interpretation — professional skills donated are dollars we don't have to raise.
Funders, foundations, and impact investors: we're actively exploring partnership, investment, and grant opportunities. Let's talk.
Somewhere in British Columbia there's a piece of land that will become front doors, shared spaces, and a community. Your gift is what gets us there.
