Vision: 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.
Mission: Our mission is to grow the movement for permanently affordable cooperatively owned housing and land for the benefit of our communities.
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.
- 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.
- Building Infrastructure: Maintaining and improving existing homes to be more sustainable and provide a better quality of life for residents.
- Finance: Managing and planning the co-op’s finances to ensure future stability and fair distribution of wealth. Mobilizing capital to support our mission.
