All housing supply isn't equal. That's why we're thrilled to have an opportunity to welcome 6,000 new households to co-op housing through the forthcoming federal Co-op Housing Development Program.
All housing supply isn’t created equal: we need housing that’s affordable, secure and part of a diverse community.

Tried, tested and true. Housing co-ops are more affordable and sustainable than renting or owning in Canada today. Co-ops also build stronger and more inclusive communities.

We are thrilled #Budget2022 commits $1.5 billion to build 6,000 new co-op homes. Co-ops are more affordable than renting or owning, provide security of tenure to member owners, and build stronger communities.
#Budget2022 includes the first dedicated federal investment in co-op housing in 30 years.
We're grateful to everyone who has advocated for continued investment in co-op communities. chfcanada.coop/budget2022/
Thanks @JeanneCBC + @infoamfred for your invite to discuss co-op housing as part of the solutions needed to address the housing crunch in New Brunswick and across Canada.
"Because co-ops operate on a not-for-profit basis, they put needs of members first & provide an important resource for the community. Co-ops are intentional communities built around common values and principles."
