Using the Co-op Model to Address the Housing Crisis 

The shortage of workforce and affordable housing in the U.S. market has an enormous impact on the quality of life in cities, towns, and rural areas. As community leaders seek solutions to the housing crisis, people continue to make difficult choices about where to live. Cooperative housing offers a solution to this crisis. Housing co-ops have been around since the mid-19th century, and have proven to be effective in addressing the housing crisis.

Join us on March 31 to learn about cooperatives and the housing co-op model. You'll hear from the experts about how to start and finance a housing co-op.

This is a hybrid event and you may participate in person or virtually.  There is no charge to attend, but registration is required.
