"Advocates believe that more co-living — such as group-owned houses, co-ops, rentals with common kitchens and workspaces, communes and co-housing communities — can diversify urban housing options and increase affordability." https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/why-don-t-we-live-together-alternative-housing-in-a-hot-realty-market-1.5979554

He grew up in social (co-op) housing. He wanted to see for himself what it was like to be homeless. He has devoted himself to building better housing for those that need it. It's not the long-term solution we need, but so much respect to Khaleel Seivwright https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/16/world/canada/khaleel-seivwright-toronto-homeless.html?smid=tw-share

CHF Canada's Greener Co-op Microgrants supported Kabuki Co-op's long-term effort to rebuild their gardens as raised beds. Each of the eight units now has access to their own garden bed, as well as a shared plot for strawberries. Thanks to the grant, organic soil supplemented with horse manure was provided for all of the members. The group decided to seed the pathways between the raised beds with grass and purchase a grass trimmer to maintain the growth. The co-op replaced the garden hose reel and bought new tables for the yard to provide a place for members to have BBQ suppers during the summer.Learn more about Greener Co-op Microgrants: chfcanada.coop/about-us/awards-grants-and-scholarships/greener-co-op-microgrants/ ...
