We’re here to make sustainable, affordable modular housing a reality in Kingston—connecting local builders, community groups, and schools to create smart, inclusive, and future-ready neighborhoods. Our focus is on practical, eco-friendly solutions that meet the real needs of our community.

Modivate Housing was founded with a simple but powerful idea: that quality, sustainable housing should be accessible to more Canadians. Born out of a passion for solving real housing challenges in Ontario, Modivate began as a collaborative effort between community-focused entrepreneurs and housing advocates who saw the potential of modular construction to address affordability, speed, and efficiency. With deep roots in project management, marketing, and social impact work, our team set out to make modular living more practical, beautiful, and widely available.

At Modivate, we guide clients through every stage of the modular housing process—from selecting the right home model to preparing for delivery and installation. Our services include floor plan selection, site assessments, and ensuring compliance with local zoning and permitting requirements.
We also help identify and navigate available government grants, subsidies, and housing support programs that can reduce costs and improve project viability. Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or community organization, our goal is to simplify the path to sustainable, modular living—while helping you make the most of available funding opportunities.

We aim to make Kingston a leader in sustainable, modular housing by supporting local builders, managing smart projects, and building strong community partnerships. Our goal is to help shape a future where modular construction is the standard for innovative, affordable living.
