The Membership Process
Apply for Membership
Each person, 16 years of age or older, who will be living in the Co-op must apply for membership.
Each adult applicant must provide two (2) letters of reference – 1 character reference and 1 reference showing some sort of community participation over the last five (5) years. If a volunteer community reference cannot be provided, we will accept two (2) character references.
Applicants will NOT be considered for processing unless all questions are answered, full proof of income, application fee and letters of reference are submitted.
Once the completed application forms are received by Muriel Collins Housing Co-operative, they will be date stamped and processing of the application will commence. This process will be on a first come, first serve basis for market value units.
