What is Co-operative Housing?
As a member of the co-operative, you don’t own your unit outright., you hold shares in a corporation that owns the buildings within the housing complex. Our housing co-op manages itself. Being a member of the co-operative grants you the right to reside in a home within the complex and participate in the vibrant “community atmosphere.”
A Little About Our Co-op
St. Andrews Place is located at the intersection of Cedar Street and Third Avenue in Mission, nestled in a picturesque park-like environment adorned with trees and gardens. It offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life while remaining conveniently close to medical, shopping, and entertainment options. The Co-op features both public and private garden spaces, making it an ideal home for gardening enthusiasts. If you enjoy gardening, you'll truly appreciate living at St. Andrews Place.
Our Seniors (55+) Co-op thrives thanks to our members who actively volunteer their time and contribute to building a wonderful community. "Mission Co-operative Housing Association is business and a community jointly owned by the members." We seek individuals who genuinely want to engage and contribute to our community.
Our smooth operations rely on the efforts of both our volunteers and our paid staff, which includes three employees: our Manager and two Maintenance personnel.
As proud members of CHFBC, we actively participate in the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, which helps us maintain our properties and ensure a safe environment.
What is happening with our Co-op - Redevelopment.
The Co-operative, in collaboration with BC Housing, is exploring opportunities for redevelopment of the site to create additional and improved affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income seniors. We are currently undertaking a feasibility study for the redevelopment and further information about the redevelopment will be available to community members and neighbours in 2025.
