Real Estate as a Catalyst for Social Good
Copia Foundation is a social-purpose real estate nonprofit based in Montreal, working across Canada and select U.S. metropolitan areas. We bring together philanthropic and mission-aligned private capital, real estate knowledge and local partnerships to create affordable housing for low-income families and newcomers.

Vocation
A home supports the practical foundations of daily life. It provides a place to settle, work, raise children, build local connections, and plan ahead. We help facilitate these homes through private property owners to create lower-rent homes that remain accessible over time.

New developments
We support purpose-built housing and community-serving projects from the earliest stage of planning.
Acquisition of existing buildings
We identify buildings with potential to provide homes or community spaces, that help align the property with a durable plan for its next chapter.
Preservation of at-risk properties
We support efforts to retain homes through responsible ownership, considered investment, and a long-term commitment to residents.
Adaptive reuse
We explore opportunities to transform existing structures into housing or other spaces while making thoughtful use of what is already in place.
