The international co-op principles guide the way we govern and manage our housing co-ops
Continuing to operate our co-ops on a not-for-profit basis is fundamental to our future and to our promise to Canadians in need of housing
Co-ops strive to house members with a mix of incomes
Housing co-ops treat their employees and other providers of management services fairly and value the contribution they make to their communities
Housing co-ops are inclusive communities and embrace diversity by fostering a membership of differing backgrounds and abilities
A commitment to environmental sustainability guides the operating practices of housing co-ops
Co-ops aim to provide a high-quality living environment for their members and do their best to respond to their changing housing needs over time
The right of members to live in their co-op is protected as long as they respect the rules that they have together agreed will govern their housing
USJ is dedicated to developing strong housing communities that operate under the control of the members, for their mutual benefit on a not-for-profit basis.
