Yesterday, CHF Canada had the honour of joining the Senate of Canada - Sénat du Canada Committee on National Finance to talk about how federal programs can help build more homes for Canadians. CHF Canada CEO Tim Ross spoke about how co-ops stand out as communities governed by their members, the people who live there. Members have a real voice in decisions about their homes and community, offering autonomy and control, making co-ops unique among rental options. Tim also highlighted the potential of the new Build Canada Homes initiative to achieve great things if it prioritizes community housing, especially co-ops and non-profits. CHF Canada would like to thank the committee for the opportunity to contribute our expertise that stems from the successful operation of co-ops for over 50 years. We will continue to advocate for co-ops as a solution to meet Canada’s urgent need for more community-led, affordable housing.
