Find a housing co-operative

Housing co-operatives are managed by their members, who are usually also tenants. People must be eligible for community housing and suitable for membership in the co-op before registering interest. You will need the location and map number for each co-op you include when you register for housing.

Tenants need to be willing to contribute to the running of the co-op - tenant member responsibilities

Co-ops are also called volunteer member-tenant managed providers.
