Congratulations to the members of Caroline Co-op on their official co-op opening! 🎉 Formerly a private market rental, this Hamilton building is now a housing co-op, owned collectively by the members who live there. When their apartment building was put up for sale, tenants of 272 Caroline Street South were concerned about the future of their homes and the potential of renovations or rental hikes. They organized to form a tenant association and to find a way to buy their building and convert it into a housing co-op. Despite many obstacles and challenges, with the support of the community housing sector, funders and government, Caroline Co-op is officially open.In November, CHF Canada joined their opening celebration alongside the Golden Horseshoe Co-operative Housing Federation and other project supporters. From expansion projects to new construction to acquisition and conversion projects like this, support and momentum for co-op housing is growing across Canada. ... See MoreSee Less
