COUCH

COUCH, Community of Urbana-Champaign Co-operative Housing, is a non-profit co-operative organization of housing co-operatives, either as associate houses or member houses. COUCH began in 1997 as an umbrella organization for the independent housing co-ops in the Champaign-Urbana area, but was also founded with the vision of creating a larger co-op community to advance co-oping, establish community, and achieve economies of scale within the co-op community.
