Joseph Santos

Interim Tenant Relations Coordinator

Before joining Catalyst Community Developments Society, Joseph Santos held progressive roles in the private property management sector, building a strong foundation in residential operations, tenant relations, and financial performance. Beginning his career in property management in 2016, he oversaw multi-family rental communities across Metro Vancouver and developed a deep passion for creating positive housing experiences.

Now working in the non-profit housing sector, Joseph is proud to be part of a mission-driven organization that puts people first. Contributing to safe, inclusive, and affordable housing brings purpose and meaning to his work each day.

Outside of work, Joseph enjoys spending time outdoors, including trail running, hiking, and walking in nature—activities that help him stay grounded in the values of community, connection, and well-being.

"I believe that real human connection is at the heart of everything — it's what builds strong communities and makes life meaningful. I also believe that safe, affordable housing isn’t a privilege, it’s a right that everyone deserves. That’s why I’m so proud to be part of Catalyst, where the mission is all about creating vibrant communities and providing inspiring, affordable places to call home. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me outdoors — hiking, biking, or spending time with friends and family — staying connected to the people and the world around me. Those moments remind me every day why building community matters so much."
