The main objective of the
ISNA Housing Cooperative
(IHC) is to provide
interest free house ownership to
the Muslim community. The
Cooperative does not deal with
borrowing/lending money from/to
other institutions but relies on
the funds provided by its
members in terms of shares
subscriptions. The motive of the
investors is to facilitate the
provision of funds for other
members who would plan to occupy
and potentially purchase a
housing unit from the
Cooperative. Member investors
who intend to purchase housing
unit would accumulate shares to
qualify for the house purchase.
The members who hold membership
shares are entitled to receive
the dividend on their investment
shares as announced by the
Cooperative Board until they
enter into an Occupancy
Agreement. The IHC is operating
under the Ontario Co-operative
act with the approved Offering
Statement by the
Financial Service Commission
Ontario (FSCO).
