The housing market can be uncertain: housing co-operatives are a way to provide stability. In this episode we speak to Tim Ross, Executive Director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada, about the impact of non-profit housing co-ops in Canada. We then catch up with Hazel Corcoran, ED of the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation, about what it's like to live in her equity housing co-op in Calgary.
