People were unsure about where they were going to call home.<\/p>\n<p>We believed that we could make a difference. We started to dream. We imagined homes that people would be proud to live at, in the heart of great neighbourhoods, next to parishes, and accessible to things that they would need. We imagined the common space, where friends could gather in community. We imagined affordable homes that allow them to invest in important things.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-481\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405-300x150.png?resize=300%2C150\" alt=\"Columbus Hoes video 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405.png?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405.png?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405.png?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405.png?resize=200%2C100&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/colchar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/columbus-y3-e1452807151405.png?w=1439&amp;ssl=1 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>We were committed to making it happen.

Our funding grew little by little.<\/p>\n<p>In 1970 our dream came true: we opened our first home by Joyce Street. 50 years later we have 4 buildings across the Lower Mainland.
