How Fortis Helps Organizations Build Multiple Workforce Homes

When it comes to addressing workforce housing needs, timing, quality, and sustainability are essential. For organizations and agencies looking to make an impact, Fortis offers a streamlined solution that aligns with community values and operational needs. Our partnership approach enables nonprofits, government agencies, and developers to bring multiple workforce housing units to fruition faster and more efficiently than traditional construction.

Why Partner with Fortis for Workforce Housing?

Built for Speed

01

With Fortis, time is on your side. Our construction process—driven by Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs)—is designed to cut down on build time, allowing us to deliver multiple homes in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional methods. For agencies and nonprofits, this means less waiting and more immediate action, letting you bring housing to communities where it's needed most.

"Our speed and efficiency make a difference for organizations striving to meet housing demands rapidly," says Matthew Churnock, Fortis’s Director of Development. "By minimizing construction time, we help our partners maximize their impact."

Quality and Durability at Scale

02

Fast doesn’t mean we compromise on quality. Our SIPs-based construction method provides workforce housing that’s built to last. These materials deliver superior insulation, making homes resilient against extreme weather and offering long-term durability. This durability not only provides security for tenants but also reduces ongoing maintenance costs, creating sustainable affordability.

Sustainability that Aligns with Community Goals

03

Our homes are designed for energy efficiency, with SIPs offering a tight building envelope that minimizes energy loss. This keeps utility bills low, making housing more affordable for tenants and aligning with the growing demand for sustainable housing. Fortis homes support eco-friendly practices and contribute to a greener community footprint.
