🏳️‍🌈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.

While not technically a co-owner, she’s planted the seeds of community on her own property and created a sustainable chapter for her retirement.

Co-ownership is basically a financial cheat code for rising mortgage rates. Financial planner Mike Carlson explains how living with more people reduces the pressure of market hikes.

Beyond the numbers, it’s about where everyone contributes what they’re good at—whether that’s sharing a vehicle or doing roof checks.

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.

Life isn't static, and your co-ownership agreement shouldn't be either. Lawyers Leslie Robinson and Nital Gosai emphasize that a formal contract is the backbone of your investment.

From exit strategies to what happens if someone gets married or has a child, it is worth 'sweating the small stuff' at the beginning to avoid expensive blow-ups later. Protect your investment and your peace of mind.

Lesley and Lesli remember a transaction involving two single ladies. One had a great job but student debt, while the other was a single mom who was selling her house, bringing some capital to the purchase. Their contributions were uneven, but they balanced each other out, allowing them to access a property they couldn't have on their own.

They emphasize moving away from the assumption that every person involved in a co-ownership agreement must contribute an equal percentage (e.g., 25% each) because it can end up putting unnecessary barriers or making the process more difficult.
