What is housing co-op?

Shared ownership principles.

Non-profit housing co-ops are a form of shared ownership. The co-op provides homes to its members, who purchase shares and pay a monthly housing charge. Members own the co-op; the co-op owns the housing.

An elected board of directors manages the day-to-day business of the co-op. Each member has one vote, and everyone contributes to the community, according to their interests and strengths.

Co-op is your home, not an investment.

Co-op members work together to keep the complex smooth-running and affordable. Every member must participate in the co-op's management and maintenance.

As a co-op member, you have security of tenure. This means that you can live in your home for as long as you wish if you follow the rules of the co-op and pay your housing charges. The co-op is your home, not an investment.

Who can live in a co-op?

Co-op communities are made up of all kinds of people — people with different backgrounds and incomes and special needs. This diversity is a unique and vibrant strength of the co-op housing concept.

What the Co-op is expecting from its members:

  • Follow the Co-op's rules and policies.
  • Be a good neighbour.
  • Get involved in co-op life.
