Hi,
We are taught that members of a community who decide to build a synagogue may take up a mandatory collection for the construction, requiring all members of the community to contribute according to their means.
Ideally, this should be a building which is dedicated as a synagogue, but where that is not possible they should rent a building.
The definition of "synagogue" is, per Rambam, a building in which they will gather at each time of prayer.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 150:1; Mishneh Berurah 150:1-2)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
