COMMON GROUND CO-OPERATIVE INC.

Legal name: COMMON GROUND CO-OPERATIVE INC

Common Ground Co-operative operates a housing co-op in East York that provides affordable, stable homes for lower-income households across Toronto and the GTA. The organization owns and manages residential properties where members live as part of a co-operative model, sharing decision-making power and operating costs. By combining affordable rent with community governance, Common Ground creates long-term housing security for residents who might otherwise struggle to find accessible accommodation. Members participate in the day-to-day management of their homes and communities, fostering mutual support and reducing isolation. The co-operative model ensures that housing remains permanently affordable rather than subject to market fluctuations, making it a sustainable approach to addressing the region's housing shortage for those with limited means.
