About the co-op
Heron Point is owned and run by the people who live here.
How it works
- Every household that owns a home here is a member, and each member household has one vote.
- Members elect a board of directors to run the co-op's day-to-day business. The board appoints committees for everything else.
- Members make the big decisions: the annual budget, the lot rent, electing the board, and any change to the bylaws or community rules.
- New homeowners join the co-op and sign an Occupancy Agreement, which commits them to the bylaws and the community rules.
Why we do it this way
The co-op exists to keep this community affordable for the long term, especially for low- and moderate-income households, and to keep decisions about it in residents' hands rather than an outside owner's.
Getting involved
Come to a board meeting, join a committee, or help with the annual meeting. Some people give an hour a month and some serve two years on the board. Either way it keeps costs down and makes this a better place to live.
