Coop Training Program
 | Limited Equity Co-ops are built around the idea of self-determination. Co-op residents can benefit from the stability of homeownership and exercise direct control over the management decisions that affect their lives. However, managing a multi-unit housing development is not second nature to most people. As Member Services Director for the Champlain Valley Mutual Housing Federation, I developed a series of trainings designed to help low-income residents become effective decision makers capable of overseeing the management of all aspects of the buildings where they lived. These hands on trainings covered issues ranging from the legal documents defining a co-op to financial management, fair housing and resident selection. |
