This Tamarack Institute case study by Njoki Mbũrũ and Jorge Garza details a one-year community development program with the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada. It used an asset-based community development (ABCD) lens and a collective impact framework. The program aimed at enhancing collaboration and community engagement within four housing co-operatives: False Creek Co-operative Housing Association (FCCHA), Fred Dowling Co-op, Oak Street Co-op, and Cooperative Des Jardins. The report highlights the program’s insights, lessons learned, and future directions for participants in CHF Canada’s network. Topics include: community engagement, asset-based community development, collective impact framework.
