Kalamazoo Collective Housing

Since our August 1st lease term has started, members at Kalamazoo Collective Housing are excited to begin living the cooperative lifestyle. A good mix of members, old and new, will allow easy transition into the houses as the newbies are still learning the ropes. Members are still getting settled in and unpacking while they move into their community owned afforadble house.

Cooperative living in Michigan is proving to be a great urban housing alternative, "those who are opting for these shared living arrangements are doing it more out of financial necessity or as a way to follow their social beliefs," according to Simons article Co-ops, collectives offer urban housing options. Kalamazoo Collective Housing is recognized for the work in Kalamazoo, Michigan where alumni Hannah Reicheil had her first collective experience at Fletcher Collective on Walnut Street. KCH, making their neighborhoods better and stronger!
