Pod is an organic way of growing and development. Pod means being part of something bigger without losing identity. It is a container of smaller pieces. This natural relationship between elements inspired us to conceive of a pod-like system of affordable housing development. Housing co-operatives have proved throughout decades that they are a very successful model, socially integrative, financially and operationally efficient. Co-ops could be the strong plant from where small pods can grow. Several co-ops could be expanded in the near future, developing new buildings and adding affordable units of different sizes to their existing portfolio. This new building (a) would belong to the main co-op (A) sharing financial and operational resources. The new building will be owned and developed by the Community Land Trust Foundation of BC. It would then be governed and managed by the co-op. Pods would be physically small coops integrated and associated with the life of a larger coop, located at a short distance from each other. There can be a few pods, or many pods, or even an alliance of many pods.
