LIMITED EQUITY HOUSING COOPERATIVE

The material provided on the 211 eLibrary is for informational purposes only. It is not intended to be and should not be construed as legal advice.

Limited equity housing cooperatives are organizations in which residents collectively own and manage housing, including rehabilitated apartment buildings. The cooperative aims to develop and preserve housing for low and moderate income people. The collaborative nature of these organizations also fosters a sense of community, which may not be present in privately owned apartment buildings. The residents of a limited equity cooperative own their units, but the cooperative restricts the units' sales price or the amount of profit members can make from sales.
