Brighton Yards Housing Co-op
Brighton Yards Housing Cooperative is a non-profit organization whose residents enjoy affordable housing and have a say in their living environment
What is a housing co-op?
A housing co-op is made up of members who choose to live in a community. Here members participate and take responsibility for the day-to-day running and overall direction of the co-op. Housing co-ops offer non-profit housing to people of all socio-economic backgrounds and cultures.
When you are a member:
- You have an equal say in major decisions: one member, one vote.
- You have the opportunity to elect or be elected onto the Board of Directors which approves the budget and by-laws.
- You are actively involved through voluntary participation in:
- committee membership (Member Selection/Orientation, Social, Member Relations, Maintenance, Newsletter, Finance, etc.)
- the Board of Directors
- snow shovelling / lawn mowing
- property maintenance & clean-up
