What is Co-operative Living?
Karwick Village isn’t just about providing affordable housing; this community is about building a true cooperative. Our mission is to build community through affordable housing. Residents at Karwick Village are more than tenants; each resident is a member of the Karwick Village cooperative, meaning they have both rights and responsibilities, participating in decisions that affect their home and their neighbors. Cooperative living requires commitment, collaboration, and a willingness to work together toward common goals. Each resident at Karwick Village is required to participate in the community cooperative.
Karwick Village is LaPorte County’s First Affordable Cooperative Living Community
