Our current and future co-operatives are at the centre of everything we do. CEHL's Strategic Plan maps out the pathways that will enable CEHL to work with member co-operatives to respond to the broader affordable housing challenge. See CEHL Strategic Plan 2023/24 - 2026/27
CEHL's role
- Provide and maintain a quality housing program
- Facilitate, resource and govern the member-led co-op housing program
- Build the capability and capacity of co-op members
- Provide an environment for co-op self-determination
Each co-op is an independent organisation that works together to meet the needs of its own members within the framework of the CEHL Housing Program. Co-ops are run by members, for members, they:
- manage governance and planning for their co-op and members needs
- have a say in the CEHL Housing Program and in decisions that affect their housing by:
- electing co-op member representatives to the CEHL Board
- input into policies and key program topics
- act as rental provider by managing tenancies, finances and maintenance (for Community Managed Co-operatives CMCs these functions are managed by CEHL)
CEHL provides to member co-ops
- Training and resourcing
- Management of a portfolio of properties
- Program management, administration and reporting to government housing regulator
