We work with federal, provincial/territorial and municipal 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, diverse and sustainable communities. Our movement is resourceful, passionate, and dedicated to a future with more co-operative housing.
