We are a market rate equity Housing Cooperative - a community dedicated to creating a secure, trusting, respectful, family friendly environment. We show our accountability and
responsibility by governing our community through member elected representatives.

Our Community Affirmations are:
- Family support – rooted in historical traditions
- Respect - for the talents, strengths, and contributions of others
- Social bonding – through common values and shared interests
- Feeling of Ownership – members in economic community
- Participation – Service to the functioning of our community
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Members elect a Board of Directors that sets policy for the Cooperative. The Board is advised and assisted by a professional management firm or cooperative committees. Committees propose policies to the Board and in turn carry out proposed assignments, all of which help keep the cooperative running smoothly.
RESIDENT PARTICIPATION
The Board, comprised of individual shareholder members, is responsible for identifying and creating committees. They are designed to facilitate and help the Board with some tasks it cannot do and meet our community’s needs. Committees provide residents a meaningful way to contribute to the tasks required to manage the business of our cooperative community through deliberation and thoughtful research of alternative programs, products and processes. Working with the Board and within a community structure and guidelines, these committees are empowered to make recommendations, decisions and implement activities that are objective.
Committee work is valuable for the community and the individual. On an individual level, committee participation gives its members a unique experience in how our cooperative community works. Committee participation helps expand the shareholder’s global perspective of the cooperative management needs. This Personal and more global perspective, and sense of participation, may encourage the individual shareholders to become candidates for Board service.
