The mission of East Blair Housing Cooperative is to create an intentional community of low-cost, residential housing which:

• values and encourages community, creativity, diversity, civility, cooperation, and accountability among its members and its neighbors;
• cooperatively owns and manages itself;
• assesses carrying charges (rent) at affordable (i.e., at or below HUD’s Fair Market Rent) levels and accepts Section 8 vouchers so as to be able to maintain its tradition of providing the opportunity of quality, occupant-operated housing that gives preference to people who earn low incomes and/or would not otherwise have access to such housing;
• provides opportunity for its members to learn skills such as consensus decision making, conflict resolution, home repair, gardening, caregiving, and nonprofit management; and
• promotes cooperative and affordable housing in the community at large.
