This section is for people who live in a not-for-profit housing co-operative (“co-op”). Co-ops are run by members of the co-op and have an elected Board of Directors made up of co-op members. Co-op members pay a monthly housing charge (rent) and some households pay a geared-to-income housing charge. Co-op members usually participate in activities related to the running of the co-op.
The Co-operative Housing Federation website has information about co-ops: https://chfcanada.coop/about-co-op-housing.
