Cooperative Housing International (CHI) is a global network organization that promotes cooperative housing as a solution to housing needs worldwide. It is one of the eight sectoral organizations of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA). CHI's mission is to unite, represent, and lead the international movement for cooperative and mutual self-help housing. CHI works by raising awareness about cooperative housing, facilitating networking opportunities among cooperative leaders, and providing resources and technical expertise. The organization has a diverse membership base with cooperative housing federations and associations in over 70 countries. CHI collaborates with various partners, including the CoHabitat Network, to expand its reach and provide comprehensive information on collaborative housing initiatives globally. Through its activities, CHI aims to promote affordable, sustainable, and democratically controlled housing. The organization emphasizes the importance of housing as a human right, rather than a commodity, and supports models that prioritize collective ownership and community involvement. CHI's resources include guides on governance, finance, and legal frameworks, as well as case studies and best practices from around the world. By fostering international cooperation and knowledge sharing, CHI seeks to strengthen the cooperative housing movement and address housing challenges globally.
