Housing Coops

I live in Trafalgar Housing Coop (5th & Trafalgar) and interested in connecting with others who live in housing coops - especially in the Kitsilano area.  At least 4 of us are attending the Coop Housing Federation of BC educational workshop on March 27 and would be pleased to share the information afterwards. trafalgarmary@gmail.com

Hi there,

My name is Afsaneh, and I'm new to the network. Just found your discussion thread.

I would very much like to hear about the workshop.

thanks,

Hi, Well I took workshops on Policies that Work and Governance Test (a 3-page list of items that co-ops should do). Another member took Leadership Renewal and several took a full day workshop on Dealing with Conflict. All of the facilitators were excellent - and all the content focused directly to people who live in housing co-ops: most of the 150 or so who came are on their board of directors or very actively involved in a committee.
Do you live in a housing co-op?

Hi there Mary,

Presently live in a rented suite. I would like to move into a housing co-op. I don't know much about it and not really sure how to get started. I visited a website for a housing co-op close to commercial drive but there was very little information posted.

thanks for your reply.

search for CHF BC (the Cooperative Housing Federation of BC - You'll get a lot of info and can probably sign up for their e-newsletter there too.
