The Ontario Region gives housing co‑ops in the province the advice and support they need to operate successfully under provincial housing programs and legislation. Our work complements the services offered by CHF Canada’s national staff.

Every year we receive hundreds of calls from co‑ops with questions. Some are looking for help with financial problems or community concerns. Others need information on how to appeal their property taxes, or how to make sure that a board meeting to deal with an eviction meets all legal requirements and is fair to the member involved.

Co‑op staff and members can contact our co‑op services staff for help with Ontario-specific issues.

Our staff works with government and co‑ops on management issues.

The successful operation of each housing co‑op depends on effective training. The Ontario Region office works with regional federations in making educations services available to co‑op volunteers and staff.

The Ontario Region and local federations also provide help with special problems individual co‑ops may be facing.
