return to list of questions) 6. How do people apply to housing co-ops?
• Persons wanting to apply for membership need to contact the co-op where they would like to live directly. The application process usually involves an application form, orientation session, interview with the co-op’s Member Selection Committee, and a credit and landlord check. Final approval for membership comes from the Board of Directors. • All CHASEO member housing co-ops are listed in a directory on this website, where you can also find a listing of current vacancies. • To apply for a subsidized unit in some co-ops, an application must be made through the Ottawa Social Housing Registry (OSHR). Co-ops that take applicants from the Social Housing Registry are listed below.
