Birch Housing takes stock for the future
How do community housing organizations ensure survival, growth and anticipate the future? These are issues that Birch Housing, which has been in operation since 1975 in the Toronto area, has been thinking about. It inspired them to go undergo a process to better understand their situation and to reposition themselves with a mission, clearly defined vision, values and directions, with a view to ensure not only survival but growth.

Village Urbain aims to ‘professionalize’ cohousing projects
Cohousing could be a remedy for the social isolation experienced by many—young and old—and could reduce the human footprint on the planet.

The non-profit Village Urbain is currently developing a cohousing project destined for the greater Montréal area, and aims to “professionalize” this unique form of community.
