Home Together: Re-invent Co-operative Living for the 21st Century with Co-operatively-owned Collective Housing
Large-scale housing co-operatives built in the 1970s with CMHC support were ground-breaking at the time. This model needs to be re-interpreted for present day Vancouver. Co-operatively-owned housing must be apart of our vision for the future, with a focus on smaller-scale, collectively-run houses.
What is...?
A Collective House is a home where residents share decision-making, food and living space, and are socially active amongst themselves and within their neighbourhoods.
Co-operative Ownership (specifically, the "Group Equity Model") is a model where spaces are owned by a group of people. Each resident contributes to decision making and must buy a share in the Co-op in order to move in. When the member moves out their share value is returned, and they do not profit financially from their time in the Co-op.
