farmworker housing cooperatives

Farmworker housing cooperatives are community-based organizations where farmworkers collectively manage and maintain their living accommodations. In these cooperatives, workers pool resources to create affordable housing that meets their needs. This model empowers them by promoting shared responsibilities, decision-making, and community support, fostering a sense of belonging. Often established to address the lack of adequate housing for agricultural laborers, these cooperatives help improve living conditions and provide a stable environment, while also offering workers a stake in their own housing situation, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
