We’re excited to share some great news! One Bowl Housing Corporation has reached an important milestone in Round 5 of CMHC's Housing Supply Challenge. This recognition highlights the impact of our Tree to Home solution—an Indigenous-led approach to creating affordable, sustainable housing while strengthening local communities and economies.
Our Tree to Home solution connects every step of the housing supply chain, from Standing Tree to Standing Home. By using locally sourced materials and modern construction methods, we can build high-quality homes quickly and efficiently—sometimes in as little as six weeks. But this is about more than just building houses. It’s about creating jobs, training opportunities, and economic growth that stay within the community, helping Indigenous workers and businesses lead the way.
Canada is facing big challenges right now—housing shortages, rising homelessness, and gaps in the job market. The Tree to Home solution addresses these issues by bringing people and organizations together to create real, practical solutions. By focusing on local collaboration, we ensure the homes we build are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and meet the unique needs of the communities they serve.
“This milestone reflects more than just innovation—it’s a call to action,” said David Flood, Board Director of One Bowl. “Together, we can build a Canada where affordable, sustainable housing is accessible to all, while strengthening local economies and fostering Indigenous leadership.”
We can’t do this alone. To bring the Tree to Home solution to even more communities, we’re inviting governments, businesses, and partners across Canada to join us. With your support, we can expand this vision and create a ripple effect of opportunity and resilience.
