Honoured to Receive the 2025 ONPHA Innovation Award

Nov 7, 2025

We’re deeply honoured to receive the 2025 Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) Innovation Award for our Expanding Possible program! This recognition celebrates the power of community, collaboration, creativity, and commitment in shaping the future of affordable housing. 

At its heart, Expanding Possible is about reimagining what affordable homes can be: beautiful, sustainable and built to last. Through this pilot our homes now use 60% less energy, emit 90% fewer greenhouse gases and are designed with durability and dignity in mind. Our homes are not just meeting today’s needs; they are built to stand strong for generations to come.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Horizon Legacy for sponsoring this award and to our incredible partners at People Design Co-op for co-developing this groundbreaking program. 

Together, we’re proving that when innovation meets compassion, we can raise the standard for sustainable, people–centered across Toronto and beyond.
