HOUSING UWCC
A housing cooperative can be a high-rise apartment building, a garden-style apartment, a townhouse, a single-family home, a senior housing complex, or a manufactured home park. A housing cooperative forms when people come together to own and control the buildings they live in. They form a cooperative corporation and pay a monthly amount to cover operating expenses. The cooperative owns the land, the facilities, and any common areas. Members buy shares in the cooperative, which entitles the member to the exclusive right to occupy a specific unit.

What is a co-op? Canada
In western Canada, a co-op is created and run by a group of three or more*. A co-op is legally incorporated and can be a for-profit business or non-profit organization. And co-ops operate in almost every sector of the economy. But what exactly is a co-op? That’s a bit more challenging. A co-op is simply a formal way to organize themselves and achieve a goal.
