We’re holding our Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 10 at Fensgate Cooperative in the Fenway area of Boston. We expect to have a hybrid option for those who aren’t able to attend in person. Our agenda will include election of the Board Members and a discussion of the Seven Cooperative Principles and how they can help your cooperative stay on track. Stay tuned for more details.

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.

We’ve updated the Resources page with articles on cooperative principles and some guides on forming a cooperative. We’ll be continuing to update the Resources page as we find items that might interest MAHC members and friends.

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.
