Context for this Position

We operate four housing cooperatives in Boulder, home to about 60 residents, and in 2024 expanded our mission across the Front Range by opening a fifth cooperative house for 20 low-income residents in Denver. Each house has 12-20 low-income residents who have private bedrooms but share all common space, pool money for food, divide up chores, and make all decisions at weekly consensus meetings. Each house has representation on our board of directors, which meets monthly to make decisions by consensus that impact the whole organization.
