Our Approach

A tailored process for faith-based organizations to help bring your project to life.

How We’re Doing Development Differently

Championing the possibilities of affordable housing.

From early visioning to construction, we’re here to help guide and empower you through every phase of your project, ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possible.

From Early Visions to the Real Deal

Here’s what to expect when you work with us.

Your Vision

Our first meeting is all about you. We’ll get to know your vision, goals, and the community you aim to serve. We also identify any challenges to ensure we’re prepared for potential obstacles together. This thorough understanding helps us tailor our support to align with your goals and sets a solid base for the entire process.

Educate & Empower

With a strong vision established, we’ll dive into a high-level feasibility assessment where we bring you up to speed on real estate 101 including zoning and land use, approvals processes, and high-level financial analysis to help you understand what it takes to make a project feasible. We empower you with knowledge so you can feel confident making important decisions through every phase of development.

Technical Deep Dive

Next, we’ll cover all things technical: review zoning and land use in detail with municipalities, perform deep financial analysis, and carry out real estate due diligence with architects, engineers, and consultants. We’ll also help you navigate the legal aspects of charitable operations. Leveraging our strong relationships with funding partners, municipalities, and design consultants, you can rely on us to come up with creative and effective solutions for your project.

Support at Every Step

Knowing how to get started can be daunting. At Wayfinder, we are built on integrity and expertise. We understand that choosing the right development consultant is like a marriage – we are both in it for the long haul. You can rely on Wayfinder to provide:

Aligned values and mission: we prioritize community impact over profit, and our goal is to help you achieve your mission
Real estate knowledge: we bring technical expertise in real estate development
Faith-based organization expertise: we understand faith-based organizations and share your values

We’re here to help. Reach out to us to make sure your vision becomes a reality.

Vancity and CMHC offer grants and seed funding to support organizations through the initial phases of affordable housing projects. Since these programs are competitive and the application requirements are lengthy, we can help you navigate the application process and unlock early-stage funding.

Real estate development can be a long, complicated and emotional process. With so many people involved, it’s easy to get sidetracked. A clear vision helps ensure you stay focused on the end goal and maintain your purpose throughout the project.
