Background

Co‑operative housing is a Canadian success story. For more than 50 years, housing co-ops have been providing Canadians with affordable community housing.

Some 250,000 Canadians of all backgrounds, in every province and territory, make their home in a non-profit housing co‑op.

CHF Canada has been the voice of co‑operative housing in Canada since 1968. We have a strong record of defending our members and promoting the concept of co‑operative housing.
