The Waterfront Consumer's Cooperative is a member-run housing cooperative focussed on providing communal housing, based in Vancouver for the past 30 years.
The coop owns six separate houses in Grandview/Woodlands, Strathcona, Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano. Each household is a detached 4-8 person house with shared kitchen, bathroom and living areas. Some houses have communal food. Room charges are affordable. Subsidies exist for for seniors and children. Share purchase is $4. All houses choose compatible housemates independently, and have a two to three month trial period to assess fit with the existing household.
If you are interested in living communally and would like to be notified when there are vacancies, please send an email to waterfrontcoop-owner@yahoogroups.com
