To Our Representatives in levels of Municipal, Provincial and Federal Government,
We are writing today to request your support to build and fund community-led cohousing projects in Canada.
At Ottawa Cohousing, we see the great potential for private investment from engaged residents to contribute towards the building of innovative, eco-friendly housing communities called cohousing.
The cohousing model can play an important part in the mix of housing solutions that will support a strong and resilient housing system in our country, mobilizing long term investments towards the building of right-sized housing stock. It is a housing model that serves both young and aging populations as it offers great social benefits and community engagement.
This is what would help us build:
- HST & development fees waived for cohousing communities
- Seed funding for cohousing and community-led developments of 6 to 75 units
- Accelerated approvals and permitting processes for cohousing developments
이유
The Cohousing Model has a strong track record in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany.
Listen here for a recent documentary about cohousing on CBC's The Current, including the stories of some of our Ottawa Cohousing members and the current barriers we are facing.
Our recommendations are well aligned with:
- The Ottawa Housing Innovation Task Force recommendations: https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=263111
- The Senate’s Recent Report: Out of Reach: Unlocking Canada's housing affordability crisis: https://sencanada.ca/content/sen/committee/451/BANC/Reports/2026-01-20_BANC_Housing_e.pdf

- The Canadian Cohousing Network’s Affordability Research and Recommendations: https://cohousing.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Building-Connections-Web.pdf
