Last week I was invited to appear at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. I appreciate the opportunity to share the benefits of co-operative housing in the context of a high inflation economy and a stubbornly persistent housing crisis.
Speaking before the Standing Committee on Finance, ED @TimoRoss said rents in co-ops are consistently lower than rents in the private market, which leaves money for co-op members to meet other needs, even as prices are rising. Co-ops are a wise investment. #cdnpoli

All housing supply isn't equal. That's why we're thrilled to have an opportunity to welcome 6,000 new households to co-op housing through the forthcoming federal Co-op Housing Development Program.

Just a semi-regular reminder that stopping development doesn’t stop displacement.

Tried, tested and true. Housing co-ops are more affordable and sustainable than renting or owning in Canada today. Co-ops also build stronger and more inclusive communities.

💯 Kishone: you have such a talent for distilling difficult issues. How is it that sheltering wealth in our housing system is easier than sheltering humans? This needs to change.

It was a pleasure to accompany Min. @karinagould on her visit to Clairvue Co-op. We love her description of co-ops: “people who have come together, are supporting each other... and do what they can to help each other and get to a place of thriving.” chathamdailynews.ca/news/loc…

For generations, co-ops have offered quality, #AffordableHousing to Canadians through their community-oriented model. #Budget2022 proposes to reallocate funding to expand co-op #housing in Canada. 🇨🇦 ow.ly/tnGZ50IEzbY
Yup
The supply myth, brought to you by a real estate industry trying to make extreme price gains sound reasonable.
