OUR STRATEGIES
CANVAS HOMESTEADS

A practical model addressing the national affordable rental home shortfall.

Canvas Homesteads is how we put a well-built home back within the workforce’s reach: 399 square foot rental homes in Live Well Communities of 200 to 400, with utilities and full-time management folded into one monthly payment. Each one meets the same construction code that governs site-built houses.

The teachers and truck drivers, nurses and carpenters we serve already live and work in these markets. What’s been missing is a home they can hold onto.

Here’s what goes into every home,

and the community around it.

Storm Rated

Every home is rated to withstand 140-mph winds, with construction compliant to ANSI and IBC standards.

Made to Last

A 30-year Galvalume roof and 50-year LP Smart Panel siding. The materials are rated in decades.

9-foot Ceilings

High ceilings carry light through the home and make the footprint live larger than it measures.

Sustainable Comfort

R-38 roof insulation and a Carrier ductless mini-split system hold the temperature steady through every season.

Smart Entry

Keyless entry and a smart thermostat come standard in every home.

Flexible Payments

Rent can be paid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, whichever fits the household’s pay cycle.

Gated Entry

Every community is gated, with 24/7 security cameras covering the grounds.

Live Well Community

Every Canvas Homestead belongs to one of our Live Well Communities.

Around every home, a Live Well Community.

A Live Well Community is the neighborhood where Canvas Homesteads come in, named for the life they’re built to hold. The people next door are the same teachers, drivers, and nurses, working the same shifts and carrying the same loads. Two hundred to four hundred homes, gated and kept by a team on-site full time, built to feel like one place.

What’s in every community: 

  • A community clubhouse 
  • A dog park 
  • Gated entry with 24/7 security cameras
  • A resort-style pool in Florida and other coastal markets
  • Full-time on-site management
