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. The Running your housing co‑op area of our website has resources to help co‑op staff and boards, and Resources for SHRA co‑op has information on the Social Housing Reform Act and municipal administration. And make sure to check the Ontario edition of NewsBriefs for news and management advice.
