National Housing Strategy Update

On May 8, CMHC hosted a free event to educate our housing co-ops members on how to navigate the National Housing Strategy and its components.  CMHC and the Agency presented information to help housing co-op members develop a better understanding of how to apply for grants to repair and maintain the units.  This was a great opportunity as those in attendance learned about the:

• Preservation Funding for Community Housing
• Seed Funding; and
• National Housing Co-Investment Fund;

The event was well attended and was also a great opportunity for housing co-op members to get answers to their questions; discover how they can use those programs to help repair and preserve their units, discuss the challenges they had encountered; learn potential solutions to their issues and make important contacts.

Both CMHC and the Agency have made their PowerPoint Presentations available for you to reference.
