What is a continuing housing co-op?

A continuing, non-profit housing co-operative consists of a group of people joining together to provided good quality homes for one another. As housing costs increase, co-op housing provides a way of having a secure, affordable home in a community environment. In a non-profit housing co-op, members jointly own the housing they live in and individually occupy their homes.

How does a housing co-op work?

Housing co-ops are independent, self-directing, incorporated associations. Homes are owned by the Co-op Corporation of which residents of the Co-op are members. Every adult member has one vote in the operation of the Co-op. Usually, every member of the Co-op makes a contribution of volunteer time and energy to the Co-op on a monthly basis in addition to paying a monthly housing charge or "rent".
