Apply to non-profit and co-operative housing providers

Not all non-profit societies and co-operatives use The Housing Registry as their applicant database. To increase your chances of securing subsidized housing, we recommend that you apply to those non-profit societies and co-operatives not members of The Housing Registry as well.

The Housing Listings provide information on what subsidized housing developments managed by non-profit societies and co-operatives are not members of The Housing Registry AND information on how to apply to these developments. To find this information:

Section #2 lists all of the developments not listed with The Housing Registry and how to apply to them.

Sometimes you may find that non-profit and co-operative housing providers are not accepting new applications because many people are already on their applicant lists. These applicant lists re-open as vacancies become available, so check back with the housing provider regularly.

To find out which co-operatives are accepting applications, check out the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC’s website or contact them at 604-879-5112.
