An Overview

DASH (Digitally Accelerated Standardized Housing) is a groundbreaking, open-source platform that combines digital tools, permit-ready designs, and a coordinated supply chain to help communities build multi-family homes faster, easier, and more effectively.

Explore how this tool kit offers a practical, scalable solution that empowers non-profits to deliver housing quickly, without sacrificing design, quality, or sustainability. 

Join Lisa Helps and Esther de Vos (BC Housing) and Albert Lam (Iredale Architecture) for an interactive session where participants will experience the power of DASH in action through a live design demonstration. This is a collaborative experience where attendees can shape the design, ask questions, and see instant results. By attending this session, you will gain insight into a tool that can turn housing plans into homes faster—when communities need them most.

What you will learn:

  • Learn how DASH supports better use of public and private funding while maintaining design quality.
  • Understand how DASH simplifies the housing development process for non-profits and other housing sector partners
  • See firsthand how digital tools and standardized designs reduce costs and timelines.
