Advocacy

CHF Canada represents housing co-operatives across the country, home to a quarter of a million people in every province and territory. There is significant unmet demand for affordable and co-operative housing, and we want more people to experience the security, vibrancy and resiliency of co-operative living.

We work with federal, provincial and territorial governments to support existing co-ops, and to develop more co-op housing, so we can continue to lead the way in creating inclusive, accessible and sustainable communities. What Canadians really need is a place to call home that is affordable, sustainable and attainable.

Our movement is resourceful, passionate, and dedicated to a future with more co-operative housing in open, sustainable and strong co-operatives. Check out our advocacy record here.
