A housing cooperative is a form of community-led housing whereby local communities play a central role in providing their own housing. A cooperative (or co-op), is a group of people who voluntarily join together in a jointly-owned and democratic enterprise with the aim of meeting their social and economic needs.

A housing cooperative is similar to a housing association, in that it is a legal entity which owns real estate, but differs in that it is managed by its tenants, either fully or majority. Each member of the cooperative is granted the right to occupy one housing unit, acting as a share purchase in the legal entity. By combining the resources of the members, their buying power can be leveraged, thereby lowering the individual cost of the services and products relating to home ownership.

Housing cooperatives are registered with the Registrar of Friendly Societies at the Financial Services Authority (FSA). A registered cooperative can lease or purchase real estate which is then rented out to the members. The members pay rent to the cooperative, which acts as their landlord, being able to take collective decisions as to the community, allowing new members to join, services, rent, and so on.

Generally, housing cooperatives can be categorised as either non-ownership (non-equity) cooperatives, whereby occupancy agreements often grant occupancy rights, similar to a lease; or ownership (equity) cooperatives, whereby purchase agreements often grant occupancy rights.

The ethos behind housing cooperatives is that it enables members more control over their community housing and encourages greater cooperation with others.
