Marine Court Housing Co-operative offers a welcoming, inclusive 54-unit affordable housing community in Marpole, Vancouver, established in 1984. Their mission is to foster diversity, sustainability, and mutual respect while providing long-term, accessible living options on unceded Indigenous territories.
From the outside, a housing co-op looks like the other homes in the neighbourhood. It can be a new apartment building, a row of townhouses or a charming old triplex. What makes it different is not bricks and mortar, but the way its residents share the responsibilities and control of their homes.
