A housing co-operative is a community where members collectively own and manage their homes, creating a supportive environment. Members elect a Board of Directors and participate in decisions affecting their living experience.
Interested families are interviewed by the Granville Gardens Membership Committee to assess their fit for cooperative living. Recommendations are then made to the Board of Directors for final approval.
Members have rights such as voting on budgets, electing directors, running for the Board, and enjoying security of tenure as long as they adhere to the co-op's bylaws.
The Co-operative Housing Federation of BC represents housing co-ops in the province. You can click here to explore more about their mission and initiatives.
