Planning and Renewal
Long-term planning is essential for co-ops to succeed.
We offer a variety of services to help members develop and implement plans.
We Are Here to Help
Whether your co-op needs engineering studies, viability analyses, or a holistic financial plan, we can help.
And if your co-op anticipates a need to borrow money or undertake a major capital project, we can help with that, too. Our program aims to make it easy for CHF BC member co-ops to access professional planning services and related supports.
We want to ensure that co-ops remain sustainable, thriving communities.
Asset Management Planning Core Service
Our core service is asset management planning based on a recent building condition assessment (BCA) and current financial reports. We can assist co-ops wherever they are geographically, or in terms of preparation. If you already have a usable BCA we can work with that; if you want us to commission a BCA, or other related report, we can do that, too.
We value board and member input throughout the process. The board is critical for setting direction, and members (and other residents) have the experience of living in the co-op buildings. Their observations and wishes are also important to capture.
Our Process
Our process brings together inputs from the co-op and from external professionals and typically results in:
A 30-year renewal schedule
A financial plan
A written report
Stay tuned for additional resources. For more information, please get in touch
Additional Services
Our team can also assist co-ops facing lease renewals, embarking on major capital projects, or considering developing systems of internal support for low-income households.
These are very individualized services: please get in touch and we can explore the options.
