Cooperation for Service, not Profit.
Welcome
to the Amalgamated Houses. Our website is intended for our cooperators
and former cooperators, people applying for membership and those
thinking of applying, for historians and students of the cooperative
movement, and for everyone interested in this historic and living
cooperative community.
Founded
in 1927, Amalgamated is the oldest limited equity housing cooperative in
the United States. We still provide affordable housing and a strong
community for 1500 moderate-income families. |
|
Democratically
governed, we remain committed to Cooperative Principles. Community
activities are available for all ages and a wide range of interests.

"It
was offered to us to demonstrate that through cooperative efforts
we can better the lot of our co-workers. We have also been given
the privilege to show that where all personal gain and benefit is
eliminated, greater good can be accomplished for the benefit of
all. It remains too for the members of our Cooperative Community
to exert their efforts to run this cooperative and make it more
useful, and more interesting, for all who live in these apartments"
