Adequate and affordable housing.

Join a housing cooperative

Housing cooperatives bring people together to save, make decisions democratically and work toward secure, affordable homes.

People build stronger housing solutions together.

A housing cooperative is a member-owned and democratically controlled organization formed to improve access to affordable housing and secure land. Members pool savings and effort, share responsibility and make decisions together, with one member, one vote.

Voluntary and open membership

Membership starts with people organizing around shared housing needs. Regular savings, participation and cooperative governance help turn a common goal into practical action.
