This gave further impetus to a movement which began in the United States about a third of a century ago among people who held that by joining together in the purchase of land and the construction of houses they could obtain dwellings of good quality at less cost than those being provided in other ways. As things have worked out, some housing cooperatives have been outstandingly successful and have accomplished everything their sponsors hoped for. Others, however, have proved to be disap­ pointing, either falling by the wayside or failing to attain the original objectives.

  • Combatting Inequality Through Employee Ownership
    COMBATTING INEQUALITY THROUGH EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP Worker Cooperatives and Employee Stock Ownership Programs in Buffalo-Niagara Kristin Ksiazek and Annabel Bacon Introduction Communities across the United States are grappling with income inequality. Since 1979, earnings of the top one percent of Americans have risen by a staggering 157%, compared to an increase of just 22.2% for the bottom 90% of workers.1 Today, 44 percent of American workers earn less than $18,000 per year, while the CEOs of the largest 350 companies earn, on average, $18.9 million per year.2 From 1978 to 2018, compensation for CEOs grew 940.3%, but wages for typical, nonsupervisory workers grew by just 11.9%.3 Wealth gaps between the most privileged and marginalized social and demographic groups have widened by even larger amounts—to the point where, in 2015, for every dollar in wealth owned by white households, black and Latinx households held just six and eight cents, respectively; and women owned only 32 cents for every dollar held by men.4 Equally as troubling, present generations are far less likely than their parents and grandparents to experience upward economic mobility,5 and they are burdened by much more student debt.6 Job seekers of all educational backgrounds are faced with fewer choices in the American labor market, where much of the recent job growth has come in the form of low-wage work.7 This trend means that low income workers do not have the option to simply “find better paying jobs.” Rather, the data show that “there are not enough living wage jobs to go around.”8 The lack of living-wage jobs disproportionately affects women and workers of color.

  • Co-Operatives – Raising Equity
    Co-operatives – Raising Equity What is a cooperative? It is an enterprise, or business, owned by an association of persons seeking to satisfy common needs (access to products or services, sale of their products or services, employment, etc.). This association includes one or more kinds of users or stakeholders of the enterprise: consumers who use the enterprise to acquire products or services (such as a retail, housing, health-care or day-care cooperatives); producers (such as independent entrepreneurs, artisans, or farmers) who use the enterprise to process and market the goods or services they have produced, or to buy products or services necessary to their professional activities; workers who use the enterprise to secure their employment and control their working conditions. Cooperatives operate democratically (one person, one vote) through two bodies: general meeting of the members or delegates, and the board of directors composed of at least two-thirds members elected at a general meeting. If the cooperative uses delegates, the delegate structure may reflect the size of the organization or the distance covered by the cooperative and may include more than one delegate for each organization or territory represented. The cooperative's start-up capital usually comes from cooperative shares purchased by members. Federal cooperatives, however, can raise capital by issuing investment shares to members or non-members. Each member's liability is limited to the amount of his or her share in the capital. Each member has only one vote regardless of his or her capital contribution. Types of Co-ops falls under separate legislation hybrid of society and corporation Agricultural Co-ops Consumer Co-ops Credit Unions Housing Co-ops Insurance Co-ops Worker Co-ops A co-operative may be formed in accordance with: a provincial co-operative statute setting out its corporate form and model of operation.

    RESEARCH REPORT February 2020 Creating and Sustaining Limited Equity Cooperatives in the District of Columbia Authored By: Kathryn Howell, PhD Urban/Regional Studies and Planning Program, Virginia Commonwealth University Scott Bruton, PhD Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development Anna Clemens, MURP Urban/Regional Studies and Planning Program, Virginia Commonwealth University Prepared By: Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development Acknowledgements This report would not have been possible without the support of the resident-owners who took time to respond to surveys and participate in interviews and focus groups, which allowed the authors to understand the origins of their buildings and the opportunities and challenges of living in, owning, and managing Limited Equity Cooperatives (LECs) in the District of Columbia. In addition, the technical assistance providers, organizers, attorneys, District agency staff, and lenders who connected us to residents and shared their experiences working with LECs were critical to understanding the full process. Additionally, students in the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Masters of Urban and Regional Planning program’s Housing Policy course contributed to this study through conducting interviews and developing background research during the spring 2019 semester. Peter Tatian (Urban Institute) provided valuable feedback, which improved this report.
