The Agency for Co-operative Housing Annual Report to CMHC

 
  

The Agency for Co-operative Housing (the Agency) is the Sole Partner of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (CHF Canada)


Please note some excerpts below contained in the Agency Resources E-Bulletins for June 2011, in respect to Reports:


"Living on their Neighbour's Money"

"Of our 537 client co-ops, 51 have a by-law that disallows directors in arrears from serving on the board. Another 231 say either that a director must be in good standing or else that they must have a repayment plan on file. Twenty more co-ops tell us they have a by-law in place, but give no details."

..."a board member who fails to pay their charges in full and on time sets a poor example for their neighbours."


"As at their latest report to the Agency, one in four co-ops had at least one indebted director. The arrears and bad-debts rate for the membership of these co-ops was four times the rate seen in co-ops without directors in arrears."


"We don't know which comes first, the director in arrears or the co-op full of members who owe it money, but the place to start the reform is at the top." :: CLICK HERE
