CHF BC Strategic Priorities: 2025 – 2030
A bold new path forward.
In 2024, CHF BC undertook an extensive process to consult members and partners in the creation of a bold and ambitious strategic plan to guide as through 2030: Strengthening our Foundations, Deepening our Impact.
For nearly five decades, CHF BC has been a pillar of support for co-operative housing in British Columbia.
The CHF BC strategic plan builds on our legacy and sets the stage for a bold future of growth and innovation.
Our focus over the next five years is clear: to enhance our internal capacity, expand our influence, and foster a thriving co-operative housing sector that is resilient, inclusive, and sustainable.
Strengthening Our Foundations, Deepening Our Impact is more than just a roadmap; it is a commitment to our members, partners and communities to lead with vision and purpose.
