(Scroll to the bottom to RSVP)

Join COPE on December 1st, 2019, for a day of education, workshops, and a review of COPE’s last year in Council. Together we’ll create a plan to: 

  • Build homes for the 50% of renter households who make less than $50k 

  • House every homeless person

  • Discipline the housing market! 

The hand of the market taking homes, people fighting back
