In this interactive session, Vancity Community Investment Bank (VCIB), joined by Tapestry Community Capital, takes you behind the scenes of the real-world decision-making process through a live housing deal.

Discover how financing decisions are made for development, retrofit, and preservation projects as you weigh risks, identify strengths, ask the critical questions, and compare your decisions with how VCIB assesses deals in practice.

Along the way, you’ll gain insight into what community bond investors (everyday Canadians who choose to invest in affordable housing) look for in a project, and how community finance can support acquisition and pre-development while acting as a catalyst for additional financing.

Join us to learn:

• What institutional lenders, capital partners, and community bond investors look for in project viability and financial fundamentals
• How organizational capacity and track record influence financing decisions
• Key risks and how they can be mitigated or restructured
• Practical ways to strengthen your project and improve funding outcomes

Leave with clear, actionable guidance on how to position projects for success and navigate today’s evolving financing landscape.
