Welcome!

The Massachusetts Association of Housing Cooperatives is an organization of Massachusetts housing cooperatives, providers of resources and assistance to co-ops, policy makers, housing advocates, and individuals and organizations that embrace the principles of Cooperative enterprises.

We work to support a wide variety of existing housing co-ops and promote the establishment of new housing cooperatives. MAHC is building a network of financial, legal, and operational property management resources that will provide a solid base of support to housing cooperatives and insure best practices and responsible, accountable democratic management. We work with state and local governments and other stakeholders and allied organizations to advance policies and legislation to expand cooperative housing options in Massachusetts.

Budgeting 101: Fiscal Fitness For Your  Housing  Cooperative

MAHC is holding the first of a series of workshops by Kimalee Williams on Cooperative Finances on Saturday, October 5 between 10am and 2pm in Boston. This link will take you to the registration page.

We’ll also be offering two workshops later this winter, one on Capital Improvement Planning and another on Monitoring and Managing your Cooperative’s Finances. These are a series of workshops to help Cooperative Boards and their property managers work together to take the mystery out of cooperative finances.

August Newsletter

We have a rundown on the latest about the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA). We discuss how we’re launching some workshops to give Coop Board Members the tools to get the most out of their property managers. And finally we have an alert about complying with the Federal Corporate Transparency Act by the end of the year. It’s here.
