Thank you to Members of Parliament, Karim Bardeesy, Member of Parliament, Taiaiako’n—Parkdale—High Park and Julie Dzerowicz, for taking the time to hear about the needs and opportunities facing the co-op housing sector.The federal government’s support has been instrumental in building new co-ops, and we can continue to work together to invest in shovel-ready housing co-ops across the country. Importantly, we discussed the need to protect and grow deeply affordable co-op homes through rental assistance. The Federal Community Housing Initiative is a lifeline for many co-op members; programs like this must be extended for new and existing co-ops to sustain deeper affordability. ... See MoreSee Less

A big day for co-operative housing in Nova Scotia! 🎉 Today we celebrated a major milestone with the Queens Neighbourhood Co-operative, a project rooted in partnership, accessibility, and community. These 30 new homes for seniors go beyond housing; they help strengthen the social fabric of Queens County and set the stage for future co-op developments across the region. CHF Canada is proud to be a partner in this work and to support communities as they grow co-op housing that is inclusive, affordable, and built for the long term. This achievement reflects the power of collaboration across all orders of government and community partners as proof of what’s possible when we share a vision grounded in equity and care. Congratulations to the Queens Neighbourhood Co-operative and everyone who helped make this milestone a reality. www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/media-newsroom/news-releases/2025/canada-announces-30-new-homes-liverpool ...
