Real Estate - Providing a social impact model for the real estate industry.
On a flight home in 2009 Sid Landolt and Pete Dupuis, business partners and innovators in the luxury real estate industry, met Blake MyCoskie the founder of TOMS Shoes. In this chance meeting, Blake explained his ‘one-for-one’ gifting model—every time someone buys a pair of TOMS shoes the company gifts a pair to a shoeless child. Blake further explained how this had helped millions of people, but had also transformed his company culture.
With a newly inspired passion for social change, and their expertise in the industry, S&P supported the development of a philanthropic model for real estate, whereby realtors and developers can sell homes to build homes for families living in slums. In 2013 World Housing, a registered charity in Canada and the USA was officially formed. Since then 580 homes have been built, changing the lives of over 2860 people in 5 countries.
With the vision of 'A home for everyone’ and a mission to house 10,000 people by 2020, World Housing supported by S&P and other Founders, continues to grow and build homes in the worst slums of Cambodia, Philippines, Mexico, Colombia, Haiti and El Salvador. World Housing invites the real estate industry to collaborate and join the movement to help fund housing for families in need. It doesn't take a lot from each person to help transform the lives of 1.2 billion people living in uninhabitable dwellings across the globe.

When we started World Housing in 2013, our goal was to develop a model whereby the real estate industry could create real social change for families living in slums around the world.
We are very excited to provide the opportunity to become World Housing Ambassadors to our entire S&P Real Estate team. Together, we can contribute to World Housing’s Vision of building 2000 homes and housing 10,000 people by 2020.
To date, we have gifted 605 homes in 6 countries. Next year, our focus will be on building homes in El Salvador.
Let’s work together as a community to build a community and forever change the lives of families living in unimaginable conditions.
Thanks for getting involved!
