Valley Housing Coop is located in Greenfield MA, leasing 25 acres from Valley Community Land Trust with 2 duplexes and plans for future housing development.
We envision a world in which housing is a right, not a commodity, and land is returned to the commons to be collectively stewarded for generations to come.
Our mission is to grow the movement for permanently affordable cooperatively owned housing and land for the benefit of our communities.
Our Aims:
- Membership: Supporting transparent democratic governance through effective communication systems for members. Sharing what we learn to inspire others as part of a broader movement.
- Housing Infrastructure: Maintaining and improving existing homes to be more sustainable and provide a better quality of life for residents.
- Land Stewardship: Stewarding the land and relationships to the commons for the benefit of the community, ecosystem, and inhabitants.
- Development: Expanding the portfolio of Valley Housing Coop and aligned groups like Community Land Trusts to support self determined safe housing and remove land from the real estate market.
- Finance: Managing and planning the co-op’s finances to ensure future stability and fair distribution of wealth. Mobilizing capital to support our mission.
