Co-operative and Non-Profit Housing
Co-operative and non-profit housing can be an affordable rental option for independent seniors aged 59 and over. Market rents are often lower in co-ops and nonprofits than in private sector housing. Co-operative housing is owned by residents and governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In this type of co-op, residents are voting members and they assist with operations, but they do not have any individual equity and cannot sell their units. Non-profit housing is either owned by municipal housing corporations accountable to local governments, or is owned by private not-for-profit groups. Many seniors enjoy and benefit from the social interaction that takes place in co-operative and non-profit housing communities.
To apply for market rentals, interested applicants should contact the co-op or nonprofit directly to inquire about unit availability, waiting lists and the application process. In some cases, a nominal application and/or membership fee is charged. Rent-geared-to-income (RGI) units in these buildings may be available for eligible applicants on the centralized waiting list managed by Housing Connections. If you need help filling out an RGI application, you can ask for assistance at your local housing help centre. The wait time for a market rent unit in a co-op or non-profit is normally less than a rent-geared- to-income unit, and occupancy standards based on need apply in both cases. For example, a single adult would apply for a bachelor or a one bedroom unit not a two bedroom unit. Currently, the wait for a one bedroom rent-geared-to-income unit in a co-op or non-profit is about seven to ten years.
This listing includes co-ops and non-profits that are exclusively for seniors or that have units reserved for seniors. Unless noted, you can apply at age 59 or older. Contact the organization for details on waiting lists. For complete listings visit www.coophousing.comand www.onpha.on.ca.
