The Housing Crisis No One Is Solving — Until Now | Neighbours Foundation

About this episode

Neil Silvert discusses the mission of Neighbours Foundation to build attainable homes for Canadians with founders Andrew Murray and Chris Beckwith.

Canadians are resourceful. We built this country with our own hands — and two entrepreneurs are betting we can do it again. Andrew Murray and Chris Beckwith are the founding directors of Neighbours Foundation — a nonprofit organization with one mission: build 200,000 attainable homes in 10 years for the Canadians who need them most. Not luxury condos. Not investor-flipped properties. Real homes, in real communities, priced between $275,000 and $450,000 — for families earning between $55,000 and $170,000 a year. The missing middle. The people who work hard, pay their taxes, and still can't get a foot in the door. In this episode, Neil sits down with Andrew and Chris to get into the real details: the land, the model, the funding strategy, the government hurdles, and why they believe everyday Canadians — not politicians — are going to be the ones to fix this. This isn't just a conversation about housing. It's about community. It's about whether this country still has the spirit to solve its own problems. 🏠 Want in?
