You Hold the Key – Vous détenez la clé National May 05, 2026 to May 05, 2026 Register
6:00 – 7:30 pm EST
You Hold the Key: Co-op Housing Virtual Rally Come out to our virtual rally to learn about how you can get involved in the You Hold the Key campaign to protect affordable co-op homes today. This event is for co-op housing members, staff and supporters across the country who want to protect affordable co-op homes by advocating for the renewal of federal rental assistance. Housing co-ops are one of Canada’s most successful affordable housing models. Federal rental assistance allows co-ops provide deeply affordable homes to those that need it, while keeping co-op buildings in good shape and financially sustainable. Rental assistance through the Federal Community Housing Initiative (FCHI) and the Canada Community Housing Initiative (CCHI) are scheduled to end in 2028; affordability for thousands of households is at risk. We need to act now.

Vous détenez la clé : rassemblement virtuel pour l’habitation coopérative Participez à notre rassemblement virtuel pour en savoir plus sur la façon de contribuer à la campagne Vous détenez la clé, qui vise à protéger les logements coopératifs abordables. Cet événement s’adresse aux membres, au personnel et aux défenseurs des coopératives d’habitation de partout au pays qui souhaitent protéger les logements coopératifs abordables en plaidant en faveur du renouvellement du soutien au loyer fourni par le gouvernement fédéral. Les coopératives d’habitation sont l’un des modèles de logement abordable les plus fructueux au Canada. Le soutien au loyer fourni par le gouvernement fédéral permet aux coopératives d’offrir des logements très abordables aux personnes qui en ont besoin, de maintenir les bâtiments en bon état et d’assurer leur viabilité financière. Le soutien au loyer offert dans le cadre de l’Initiative fédérale de logement communautaire (IFLC) et de l’Initiative canadienne de logement communautaire (ICLC) devrait prendre fin en 2028, ce qui menace l’accessibilité financière pour des milliers de ménages.
