A group of nine individuals came to us with the goal of forming a housing co-op that would offer long-term, affordable housing in a thriving urban community. They envisioned a cooperative model where tenants would have collective control over their living spaces.

Our team guided them through every step of the process, from forming a legally recognized housing co-op to finding a property that fit their needs. We helped them discover Westview Apartments, a beautiful block of units just outside the city center, which was ideal for their vision.

We worked closely with the group to negotiate a favorable lease agreement with the landlord, ensuring it was rent-controlled and offered stability for the long term. With our assistance, the co-op was able to establish itself, creating a supportive and sustainable living environment for all its members.

Now, the tenants of Westview Apartments enjoy a shared, cooperative living arrangement that allows them to contribute to the maintenance and decision-making of their home, while also benefiting from affordable housing in a growing neighborhood.
