Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada

The mission of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (CHF Canada) is to inspire, represent and serve our members in a united co-operative housing movement. Our members are housing co-ops as well as the organizations and people who support them.

At CHF Canada, we conduct our business according to the International Co-operative Principles. We offer leadership, vision, and excellence in member service. We value co-operation, transparency and integrity in all that we do.

On June 6, 2024, the federal government launched the Co-operative Housing Development Program. The Co-operative Housing Development Program is the first dedicated federal investment in the construction of co-operative housing in over 30 years. Delivered by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the program will consist of approximately $500 million in contributions and $1 billion in loans to build co-ops across Canada. CHF Canada is committed to ensuring the program’s success through decades of expertise, deep connections with its members and strong linkages to other sector leaders and organizations, especially regional co-operative housing federations.
