Toolbox+ by Cahdco is a national community of practice to increase the amount of affordable housing development corporations across Canada and their capacity to create affordable housing.

Toolbox+ consists of two programs that will administer different types of learning opportunities depending on the needs of the participant organization: The Blueprints Program and The Foundations Program.

Both Toolbox+ programs, Blueprints and Foundations, are 10 weeks long online programs with an in-person component.

The Blueprints program aims to provide what you would need to know to get your affordable housing project created and off the ground. Foundations is designed for organizations who have past development experience looking to scale up their in-house capacity with the interest of selling their development services.

Both Toolbox+ programs, Blueprints and Foundations, are 10-week long programs with weekly virtual meetings and an in-person component near the end of the program. Content modules are shared through Mighty Networks.

Toolbox+ programs are periodically offered throughout the year. Be the first to know when applications open by signing up for the Toolbox+ Newsletter.
