Step Through Our Front Door: Canada’s Only Affordable Housing Directory

Mobilizing Socially Inspired Capital to Lead the Way to Affordable Housing Solutions

Front Door is Canada’s first and only national affordable housing directory designed to accelerate solutions and impact, helping the sector move from vision to opening day.

For funders, Front Door streamlines research by offering one trusted place to discover ready-to-invest projects. For providers, it delivers national visibility. For governments and partners, it offers real-time insight to guide better decisions. The result is simpler, more transparent and more effective housing investment for communities across the country.

More Than a Directory: A Fundraising Engine

Front Door is a powerful connector. Partners uses the platform to showcase opportunities to a trusted network of philanthropists, foundations and corporate funders—bringing socially inspired capital directly to providers. As our grant programs evolve, Partners will use Front Door to identify and explore eligible projects at every phase from strategic planning to operations, aligning with our three national funding streams including First Mile, Last Mile and Tenant Stability.

Why It Matters

More than 4 million people and families in Canada are experiencing homelessness or a housing instability which can negatively impact mental health, educational opportunities, employment and overall well-being. Through our P4 model— public, private, providers and philanthropy— Partners ensures investments stretch further and projects move to market faster. More people benefit from stable, affordable homes, sooner and for the long term.
