Welcome to the CHASEO Website

The Co-operative Housing Association of Eastern Ontario (CHASEO) is a co-operation of co-ops. Its members are housing co-ops in the Eastern Ontario region, co-op staff associations and sector-related organizations.

Through their association, members have a collective voice in Eastern Ontario to represent their interests with government, agencies and other groups.

CHASEO also provides ongoing support to housing co-ops and is a local source of resources, expertise and training. A wide range of services are available to members and non-members alike. Members also have access to a selection of continuously expanding cost-saving programs.

CHASEO is one of 23 regional co-op housing federations in Canada. It is an active member of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (CHF Canada).

CHASEO also works with The Agency for Co-operative Housing, which has administered the federal government’s co-op housing programs in Ontario and some other provinces since 2006, under contract to CMHC. Based on a CHF Canada’s proposal, the Agency was made possible by co-op members across Canada who lobbied for nearly ten years.
