Fundamentals of Forming Limited Equity Housing Cooperatives

On September 17, 2026, E. Kim Coontz, Cooperative Developer and longtime Executive Director of the California Center for Cooperative Development (CCCD), presented a workshop to the San Diego Community Wealth Building Coalition on the fundamentals of forming Limited Equity Housing Cooperatives (LEHCs). This workshop provides an introduction to the structure, principles, and development of LEHCs and offers valuable information for community members, organizers, housing advocates, and others interested in cooperative housing and community wealth building.
