Catalyst Community Developments Society is a BC-based not-for-profit society that creates vibrant, affordable, and inspiring spaces for living and working. Bringing real estate expertise and equity to community organizations, we unlock the value in their real estate for significant community good.Catalyst exists to leverage real estate assets for social change. Catalyst's mandate is to:• Partner with community organizations to develop real estate and collectively meet the needs of the community.• Create vibrant, affordable and inspiring places for people to live and work in.• Provide opportunities for "social equity" to benefit communities while receiving a fair financial return.• Ensure that existing real estate assets remain in community ownership to create long-term financial sustainability.• Own and operate affordable housing and community workspaces to establish a stable position to launch future projects.In aligning our mission with that of our partners, Catalyst does more than develop buildings – we build community for those we serve.The goal is to amplify the programs and services offered both inside and beyond the organization's four walls. By doing so we can stabilize and invigorate our communities, which in turn creates more capacity to contribute in a variety of ways and foster positive change into the future.We work with groups to assess options for their property and then provide detailed financial feasibility analysis to assist organizations in determining which would be the solution best suited to achieving their mission and meeting their needs.
