Woodsworth Housing Co-operative is located in the historic St. Lawrence Neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada, close to St. Lawrence Market. Our co-op’s purpose is to provide housing to its members at cost and without the possibility of profit and to give its members control over how their housing is operated. We are a federally funded nonprofit co-op, developed by the Co-op Housing Federation of Toronto (CHFT). Our community is a mix of rent-geared-to-income and market-rent members. Short-term rentals such as Airbnb are not permitted.
Woodsworth is proud to be part of the international co-operative movement which dates from the 19th century and we, like co-ops around the world, are guided by these principles: open membership, democratic control, economic participation, independence, education and information, co-operation among co-operatives, and concern for community.
Woodsworth is within walking distance of shops, services, schools, community centre and pool, public library, parks, and Lake Ontario. Bus routes go to subway stations and it is a short walk to the King streetcar and to Yonge Street. We are also walking distance to Lake Ontario, Sugar Beach and East Bayfront.
