OUR COOPERATIVE is
VISIONARY
As a one of the only predominantly-black, community-owned, and democratically-run development cooperatives in the country, we seek to break the cycles of exploitive and extractive economics by keeping residents in their homes, supporting a vibrant business environment, and by improving the safety, security, and well-being of all within our community of Chatham Chicago and the surrounding areas.
PIONEERING
Our partners seek to build a system that combats the injustice, bigotry, and underinvestment found within our neighborhoods. Together we understand that the growth of Equity through Home and Business Ownership is a proven pathway of intergenerational wealth creation and community development.
