Thinking outside the box with community-led housing solutions | Co-operatives first

This article outlines community-led housing approaches in Canada in response to rising home prices, rents, and housing shortages. It notes that housing co-ops can charge rents up to $500 below major-city averages, cites CMHC’s estimate of 3.5 million additional homes needed, and frames tenant-owned co-operatives as a practical local response. It is relevant for co-operatives and community housing leaders seeking options for affordable housing development and local planning.
