Massive new Toronto co-op project will offer hundreds of affordable and market-priced units — in technicolour.

City officials say it will be one of Ontario’s largest co-ops, and one of the first new co-op developments of its size in a long time. https://t.co/Bk5gVjF53H

“Co-operation is key when our housing system fails Canadians.”

In his new @ipoliticsCA op-ed, CHF Canada's CEO Tim Ross highlights co-op housing as a proven solution to rising costs, housing insecurity and economic instability.

CHF Canada welcomes #Budget2024's sharp focus on housing. Housing co-ops have a clear and important role in the national response to this generation’s housing crisis and we’re ready to build and acquire more homes. More in our statement and below ⬇ https://t.co/ByuXZ1irYB [1/]

[Courtney Lockhart @COURT_LOCK]

Great to see this. When affordable homes move into the ownership of non-profits and co-operatives, we can trust that they will remain affordable forever.

Hopeful to see this fund up and running soon & in partnership w non-market housing leaders in 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #housingpoli

[Andrew Bevan @adwbto]

"The fund will provide $1 billion in loans and $470 million in contributions to non-profits and other partners to help them acquire affordable rental units"

[Tyler Meredith @tylermeredith]

Another day, another big #Budget2024 housing announcement.

This time $1.5 Billion in loans (mostly) and grants to help acquire buildings from being lost as rental stock.

And kept as affordable non-profit housing.

This is another key ✅ ask of folks like @CHRA_ACHRU

[CHF Canada @CHFCanada]

Without a plan to safeguard existing affordable rentals, the federal government's efforts to make housing affordable & accessible will fall short. Our op-ed with @CHRA_ACHRU @NICHI_housing & @RentalProFund on our proposal for a national acquisition fund➡ https://t.co/X0EYybLGz2

[CHF Canada @CHFCanada]

The federal government has an opportunity to dedicate resources in #Budget2024 to address the housing crisis by protecting renters and making existing housing supply more affordable. https://t.co/HfjHX3bvPX

[Courtney Lockhart @COURT_LOCK]

WOW. "Collectively, renters spent nearly 9% more than they earned in household disposable income in 2023, while homeowners saved 7% of their take-home pay."

Lots of fun being a part of the conversation on how we can build more co-op homes in #Ottawa and across the country.

tl;dr together we’re advocating for the feds to launch the co-op development program 🏡
