What is Co-op Housing?App

Apply for membership

Before you apply, talk with your household about how you'll make time to contribute to the community — a minimum of two hours per month, plus quarterly member meetings.

Each member household purchases shares when they join. Our current share purchase is $3,000, payable by certified cheque or money order, and refundable when a member leaves (subject to any amounts owed under our Occupancy Agreement).

Who we can consider right now

• We consider applications for households of two or more members.

• We're accepting waitlist applications for 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units.

• We don't currently have vacancies.

• Our one-bedroom and wheelchair-accessible units are not open to new applications at this time.

A co-op belongs to its members, and choosing who joins us next is something we do together. Right now our homes are full — but we welcome applications year-round and keep them on our waitlist, so when a home does open up, we’re ready to reach out to the families waiting for one. To join the waitlist, simply complete the application below. You won’t need to share any financial details at this stage.

We take fairness and your privacy seriously. To help us stay true to that, the first review is done with names and personal details hidden, so every household is considered on the same footing. When a home becomes available, the Housing Committee meets a short list of families and recommends to the Board of Directors, who make the final decision — a friendly check and balance that keeps things fair for everyone. If your family is short-listed, that’s when we’ll ask for financial details, only to confirm a home would be affordable for you.

We look at housing need and readiness for co-op life — never at who someone is — and we warmly welcome applicants from every walk of life. To keep your family on the waitlist, you’re welcome to reapply about every six months.
