  2. Once a space is available, a YNHSC representative will contact you to ask some basic questions, and to schedule a visit the housing cooperative and to meet with the Board of Directors (in-person/virtually) for a brief discussion;

  3. Board would then move to approve your application at a bi-weekly membership meeting, and the members of the cooperative to vote to approve/decline their motion to accept your application;

  4. A YNHSC representative will contact you to notify you of your application's approval/rejections!

Unfortunately, YCHA is only a housing help/support tool dedicated to helping folks living in and/or looking for a place to call home in the York Community. While we do not offer any particular listings/accommodations (yet), it's worth noting that we will be conducting a comprehensive mixed-methods research study in the Village @ York University to identify multi-tenant (rooming) houses and rooming house operators.


We care about making sure that housing in the Village remains available for students and residents, that's why we will not be publishing any of the addresses and/or operator details on our site (for now). However, if you're looking to get more information about available on/off-campus housing, we can absolutely point you in the right direction!

We love our speaking to/learning from villagers, tenants, residents, students, landlords, homeowners and any other members of the York community -- you're the reason that YCHA does what is does, and we want to be able to help and/or connect with you in anyway we can!

So why not make that connection on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so that we can start a conversion about what matters to you.
