Applying for housing

To move into the co-op you must fill in an application form. You need to supply proof of income with the application. You need to carefully review the Commitment to Active Participation and the Consent Statement for the collection and use of credit and rental history information. You need to return the application with the your signature(s) and copies of proof of income to the co-op by mail or fax.

Co-op staff will do a credit and landlord check. If these checks area satisfactory, an interview appointment will be made with volunteers from our Member Selection Committee. The Board of Directors finalizes all membership in the co-op.

Your name will then be added to our waiting list based on the date we received the completed application.

When units come available staff calls people on the waiting list, starting at the top, to view these units. If you accept a unit, you sign an occupancy agreement, pay the co-op one month's housing charge, a member deposit equivalent to one month's housing charge and one time membership fee of $10.00. You then become a member of the co-op and can move into a unit.

Please note that subsidy will can only be offered if the co-op has subsidy available. If you require subsidy we will contact you about the current status of that waiting list.

You may still choose to be placed on our Market Housing Charge waiting list. You may need to pay the Market Housing Charge for a period of up to one year before becoming eligible for subsidy.
