How CHF Canada can help
With the launch of the Cooperative Housing Development Program, CHF Canada is working to prepare the co-op housing sector to successfully engage with the program and see long-envisioned co-op projects come to fruition.
CHF Canada is:
- Advocating to develop and expand housing co-ops
- Forging relationships and brokering referrals with sector partners, technical professionals and the Peer Network of development champions
- Producing educational content and resources (see below)
We will also be launching a new suite of development services, which includes development consulting services for projects in the pre-feasibility phase.
Contact CHF Canada about your co-op development project
Are you a housing co-operative interested in expanding your co-operative? Or are you a developer, a municipality, or a new group looking to develop new co-op homes?
If you are looking for support or guidance with your co-op housing development project, CHF Canada may be able to provide support. Please complete an intake form to connect with CHF Canada’s Development Team.
