Last week I was invited to appear at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. I appreciate the opportunity to share the benefits of co-operative housing in the context of a high inflation economy and a stubbornly persistent housing crisis.
Speaking before the Standing Committee on Finance, ED @TimoRoss said rents in co-ops are consistently lower than rents in the private market, which leaves money for co-op members to meet other needs, even as prices are rising. Co-ops are a wise investment. #cdnpoli

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.
