Elev Homes specializes in off-campus housing solutions for post-secondary students. Founded by Kevin Mpunga, Jean Bruce Koua, and Kwasi Boateng, the company was inspired by their own experiences in finding suitable student housing. Elev aims to create a worry-free living experience, allowing students to concentrate on their education.

The platform offers a range of services, including home matching based on student preferences, verified hosts for a secure living environment, and a 24/7 helpline for support. Elev also provides an authenticity promise, ensuring satisfaction with housing arrangements, and a safety net for late rent payments. Secure payment options and credit-building opportunities are available for students. For hosts, Elev offers a HostGuarantee to protect rental income and connect them with reliable tenants.

Elev has partnered with several educational institutions, including the University of Alberta Students’ Union and Concordia University of Edmonton, to expand its user base. As of early 2024, the platform has over 3,000 users and is focused on increasing housing options to meet student demand.
