Resources

The CHF Canada Resource Centre is open to everyone.

With 200 + resources—including guides, tools, templates, tip sheets, checklists, and model by-laws—you’ll find everything you need to strengthen your co-op. Resources are carefully organized by topic and role, making it easy to find exactly what you need, when you need it

Our resources are developed and regularly updated in collaboration with experts across the housing co-op sector, ensuring you have the latest insights to tackle any challenge.

As part of our transition to the new website, we are working to make all previously available resources accessible here. Please check back at the end of April for updates.

Several stacks of informational brochures and magazines about co-operative housing are arranged on a table, featuring illustrations, articles, and photos of diverse individuals on their covers, some highlighting CHF Canada initiatives.
