Understanding Housing Co-operatives
What is a Housing Co-op?
A housing co-operative is a non-profit community owned and managed by its members.
Instead of landlords and tenants, members work together to maintain their homes, make decisions collectively, and keep housing costs affordable over the long term.
Co-ops provide stable housing and foster a sense of belonging — not through ownership, but through participation.
