Affordable 360's Predevelopment Feasibility Cohort Program provides no-cost feasibility support and software access to non-profit housing providers, municipalities, and faith-based organizations developing affordable housing projects across Canada. The program is funded by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Canada's Tech for Housing Challenge (CTHC).

Selected cohort participants receive comprehensive predevelopment support for a site of their choice, including planning and zoning review, 3D massing and early design, preliminary construction cost estimates, and training in AI-powered predevelopment software. Participants gain free continued access to Affordable 360 software following completion of the cohort.

The program operates on a cohort model, accepting applications several times per year for group training and support sessions.
