A number of housing co-ops exist in the city of Toronto. I can only speak for Toronto. However, no new co-operative housing has been built for many years. The beauty of co-operative housing is the mixed incomes. Nobody's ghettoized by living there. It's an opportunity for some of the most marginalized people to really benefit from the inclusivity of a housing co-operative. I know I certainly benefited. I'd say there has not been any new federal money for housing co-operatives for at least eight or nine years.
