Interested in Co-op Housing?

As the federation, we can send an email to connect you to the housing co-op you are interested in,  but it is important for you to contact the co-op office(s) to follow-up on your application.  See the below link for contact info for each housing co-operative.

Depending on the funding program each housing co-operative was developed under, Rent-Geared-Income housing applications are processed differently.  Federally-funded co-ops maintain an internal waiting list for individuals needing affordable housing.  To see how provincially-funded housing co-ops maintain RGI unit applications, click here.

Our federation can share office contact info for local housing co-operatives, when individuals contact our office inquiring of upcoming vacancies.  There are roughly 40 housing co-operatives in the cities of Brantford, Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener, and Waterloo.  Each housing co-op fills unit vacancies independently – sometimes they will let the federation know if there are upcoming vacancies & other times they will advertise vacancies elsewhere.  Keep in mind that many co-ops have long waiting lists.

It’s up to interested applicants to follow-up with each co-op to join their waiting list and/or see vacant units.
