Mission

We foster the emergence and growth of large, high-performing, professional, and solidarity-based non-profit real estate owners by transforming Quebec’s housing sector and ecosystem.

Vision

Ecosystem transformation aims to build a non-profit housing sector that occupies a minimum of 20% market share in Quebec’s rental housing stock through accelerated mergers, acquisitions, and construction by 2050.

Values

Innovation

We work with agility, ambition, and creativity, constantly seeking sustainable solutions to improve the health and ability of our members to fulfill their mission.

Solidarity

We support our members and encourage them to help each other, with a view to making solidarity and social inclusion a priority in our respective missions.

Collaboration

Teamwork is at the heart of our actions, and we believe that joining forces allows us to do more and better.

Transparency

The excellence and professionalism of our operations require a high level of transparency between us, with our partners, and towards the public.

History

ACHAT (then commonly known as the Alliance) was born in 2017 from a mobilization of non-profit homeowner developers in Quebec around the idea of coming together to change the scale and impact of their developments, in particular through the pooling of knowledge and certain resources, as well as the full utilization of real estate financing opportunities.

In 2018, a declaration of the Alliance is signed, laying the groundwork:

Through this alliance, we are declaring that we are taking a new look at our organizations and our ways of doing things. From now on, to make a significant impact, both at the level of territories and of specific populations, we are committed to collaborating, strategically and operationally, by sharing expertise, experience, resources, and networks. We are going to forge links and create alliances with other groups of actors, in particular in the fields of the social economy, the environment, sustainable development, health, and inclusive citizenship.

Then follows the creation of a detailed economic study of our members, as well as many partnership discussions. Start-up activities were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, and resumed in 2022.
