Is CO-OP Housing right for you?

Co-operative Housing - More than a Home


Welcome

The Northern Alberta Co-operative Housing Association (NACHA) is a federation of Housing Co-operatives. We provide a variety of services to our membership and to the public who are interested in finding out more about cooperative housing.

We offer a variety of information/resources including a monthly public information session that can assist families in becoming members of a housing cooperative project.

 


How to Apply to a Co-op

Some Edmonton area co-ops have very long waiting lists.  You can expect anywhere from a 3 month to 3 year wait for a vacancy.  As a result, we recommend that you inquire with the co-op that does not currently have a vacancy if they have a waiting list and how long it could take. Please be aware that not all co-ops have subsidies available.

  1. Attend a mandatory information session.
  2. Select co-ops of interest from the co-op listing.
  3. Apply to each co-op individually following their specific application process

Note: NACHA is not involved in the placement of families in its member housing co-ops.

NACHA/Telus Partner Program

 

The NACHA/TELUS Partner Program is available to all housing co-op members. The program  provides enhanced offers, savings, and customer service.

Telus PureFibre Upgrade

Is your internet too slow? What can you do to make it faster? One option to improve internet services is via Telus’ PureFibre technology. We know that sounds like a great idea but what’s the cost the co-op. That’s the beauty of the offer, Telus will absorb 100% of the cost.

To help you make a decision we have provided you with a variety of information.  You can find all the details here.

If your co-op is interested, consider inviting a Telus representative to your Board Meeting to answer any questions you may have.

 


NACHA Strategic Plan at a Glance

At the 2019 NACHA General Meeting and Fall Education Event we released the NACHA 2020 – 2025 Strategic Plan.  You can take a look at the main points of the Strategic Plan here.

 


NACHA’s Response to COVID-19

Due to the concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we thought it was prudent to cancel our events that were scheduled to take place in March and April 2020. For more information about our response, please review our communication.

We will update this site as new information is available, so please check periodically and stay safe.
