What is the Southern Alberta Co‑operative Housing Association (SACHA)?

SACHA was founded in 1989 to serve and represent the housing co‑operatives of southern Alberta, particularly Calgary. There are nearly 20 SACHA members – all also members of CHF Canada. SACHA provides a range of services to members and the general public.

SACHA takes an active part in the lobbying activities organized nationally by CHF Canada. A staff member represents the association at CHF Canada’s Federations Committee.

How is SACHA run?

SACHA is governed by a board of five directors. The federation employs three part-time staff members.
