Co-operative Living
What is Co-operative Housing?
Community: Larry Sefton Housing Co-operative is not just another place to live; it is a community.
Safe Place: It is a safe place where people get involved, learn, grow, and come to know one another.
Home: People work together to create a home.
Non-Profit Housing Co-operative: Larry Sefton is a non-profit- housing co-operative, and as such, all housing fees are used for the community’s benefit.
Democratic: Each member has a voice in a democratic system where we each contribute our strengths and skills for the betterment of everyone else.
Diverse: Larry Sefton Housing Co-operative is a great place to make connections with a wide range of people. We value diversity and our membership reflects that value. We have members from a whole variety of walks of life. You are sure to find many people to befriend.
Everyone Helps One Another: One of the things people find a pleasant surprise when them move here is that everyone helps one another. It is common to share your resources with others. For example, if you need a cup of sugar for a recipe, you can go ask a neighbour. Or, if you do not have a power drill, ask a neighbour. Or, if you need help moving a couch, ask a neighbour. Someone is almost always available to help. You are not alone; you belong to a community.
