Abstract
Description
This webinar covers research projects in the realm of housing co-operative and governance:
1. Looking at the learning, skill-building and social ties that develop as individuals serve on the board of directors and engage in other ways in their housing co-operatives. This project was completed by analyzing data collected through the Co-operative Housing Programs Evaluation with the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada.
2. Looking at engagement of young members in their housing co-operatives. This project was undertaken by conducting qualitative interviews with young members, managers and directors.
