Housing co-ops are home to 125,000 people across all of Ontario. For over 50 years, co-ops have provided stable, affordable homes — but many now face funding gaps and rising costs. Our 2026 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission shares clear steps the province can take to protect co-op homes and help build more affordable housing:– Strengthen service agreements – Partner to build more co-op and non-profit housing – Support Indigenous-led housing solutions With the right provincial support, housing co-ops can protect existing homes and help meet Ontario’s urgent housing needs. We look forward to working with the province as Budget 2026 takes shape.Read our full submission here: chfcanada.coop/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Ontario-Pre-Budget-Submission-2026-FINAL-compressed.pdf ...
