How are Quebec co-ops affiliated with CHF Canada?
There are more than 1,200 housing co-operatives in Quebec homes to about 23,000 households. Housing co-ops in Quebec have a different relationship with CHF Canada than other Canadian housing co-ops have. An agreement was reached with the Quebec co-op housing sector in the late 1980s that regional federations would provide direct services to co-ops in Quebec and that CHF Canada would not accept housing co-operatives in the province as members. As a result, CHF Canada does not provide services to individual housing co-ops in Quebec. However, the province-wide Confdration qubcoise des coopratives dhabitation (CQCH) and its seven member federations are CHF Canada members. Quebec housing co-ops, therefore, are indirectly affiliated with CHF Canada through their membership in the Quebec regional federations that are members of CHF Canada. Resource groups that develop new co-ops, and their association, Association des groupes de ressources techniques du Qubec (AGRTQ) also belong to CHF Canada
