Woodsworth Housing Co-op in downtown Toronto

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.
