🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month🏳️‍⚧️ Have you ever wondered how community and collective living shapes q***r culture? Historically, community could be found in spaces like Toronto’s Gay Village, where bars and co-operative housing allowed q***r people to claim space and be visible. As housing prices rise across the country, even in places like The Village, how can ideas around collective ownership ensure that everyone can find homes and neighbourhoods to be their truest selves in?

Husmates was founded to answer this question, where we give you the means to organize with friends, family, colleagues, and even strangers to co-own a property. Take control of your housing future and join our beta community today.

Could revisiting our postwar approach to housing be enough to address the housing crisis in Canada? In cities like Toronto where home prices have more than doubled in the past decade, building catalogued housing, encouraging public-private partnerships, and incentivising lenders alone could still leave out many, including younger generations and those seeking to downsize. Could approaches such as home co-ownership be part of the answer to this problem?

Husmates was founded to lower barriers to home ownership, giving you the means to organize with friends, family, colleagues, and even strangers to co-own a property. Take control of your housing future and join our community today.

Why take up a three-bedroom house alone during a housing crisis? After being left in a home that was 'much too big' for her, Celia Chandler pivoted. She turned her garage into a custom laneway suite where she now lives, while renting out her main house.

The conversations you have before you buy are just as important as the purchase itself. Jackie DaSilva shares how walking through 'what-ifs'—like divorce or death—actually brought her co-ownership group closer together.

Transparency is invaluable. Be 'financially naked' with your group and build a foundation of trust that lasts longer than the mortgage.
