Are co-ops the future of housing in Canada? @JohnLorinc thinks so, and we agree. Canada has the lowest rate of community housing, including co-ops, in the G7. Canada’s housing co-ops, a movement rooted in community, is growing again.

A big thank you @laurasthornhill, for joining us at the Ontario Regional Meeting during CHF Canada’s Annual Meeting. Your insights and support for co-operative housing are deeply appreciated as we work together to build a stronger, more affordable housing future in Ontario.
