Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto (CHFT)
Unit Chairperson
Mary Ann Hannant
CHFT works to promote and develop non-profit co-operative housing in Toronto and York Region. A member-funded organization, CHFT provides education, information, advice and services to more than 45,000 people living in 165 housing co-operatives.
The biggest challenges facing us are external. When the Tory government was elected in 1995, all construction of co-ops were halted. That resulted in the closing of our development division and several people were laid off.
Last year, nearly half of our member co-ops were downloaded from the provincial government to the municipality. Much of our time is spent helping these co-ops cope with the funding cuts and regulation changes that have been imposed on them.
We are a small workplace and we maintain a good relationship between the bargaining unit and the management and our bargianing sessions have been productive.
