Values Driven Investment

A powerful investment with lasting social returns

Protecting homes, preserving affordability

The Rental Protection Fund preserves and renews affordable homes at a fraction of the cost of building new ones—just $172,000 per unit on average. The Fund's contributions protect tenants from displacement and build equity that non-profit housing providers can reinvest in affordability for future generations.

"Every dollar invested ... is worth at least three dollars towards solving the housing crisis. It is a proven model with a profound impact, and given the stakes, is one of the most strategic housing investments you can make.”
Katie Maslechko
CEO of the Rental Protection Fund

A smarter way to secure affordability

While rent subsidies can cost nearly $400,000 per unit over 20 years, the Fund achieves lasting affordability for less than half that—by buying and preserving existing affordable homes. 

Smart investments today mean stability for decades to come.

Province-wide impact

From Vancouver to Vernon, the Fund has protected homes in 20+ municipalities. Nearly one in three are located in small or rural communities, where affordable housing is hardest to replace.

Lower acquisition costs outside major centres stretch each dollar even further.

Maximizing value on every deal

The Fund uses data-driven resources to find high-impact opportunities—and negotiate better prices. Nearly $9M has been saved by securing homes below appraised value, showing that the non-profit sector can be agile, efficient, and cost-savvy.

Unlocking

private capital

Through strong market credibility, the Fund has brought in over $50 million in private and impact investment—amplifying public dollars and expanding reach without sacrificing affordability.

Growing without displacement

Over 1,500 homes protected—and counting. Thanks to low per-door costs and strategic acquisitions, the Fund is on pace to support nearly 900 more units annually. 

By investing in non-profit-led infill and expansion on existing affordable housing sites, we unlock new supply affordably and sustainably.

Make housing security last

Everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. The Rental Protection Fund is a proven, scalable model that turns every dollar into long-term housing security—protecting homes, preventing displacement, and keeping communities together.

Your support helps preserve what matters most: homes people can afford, now and into the future.
