About Us | UCHA

Housing that students can afford

UCHA provides a vital community resource—offering exceptionally affordable housing averaging $650 a month, meals included. By reducing financial barriers, we ensure that higher education remains accessible for all students, regardless of background.

Student run, student led

Students run UCHA alongside a small team of professional staff. From cooking, to cleaning, to governance and even website development, students do it all. We operate on a model of generational cooperation: UCHA is able to continue its services thanks to the hard work and dedication of students who came before. It is now our duty to extend this mission to ensure that the Co-op may serve for generations to come. Today we exist thanks to the students of yesterday. Tomorrow, we will exist because of the students of today.

Towards the future

There is more work to be done. For every student that we are able to support, there are hundreds who are unable to attend college due to costs, and even more who struggle each day to meet the basic necessities of housing and food. We continue to expand our services, and we are committed to increasing our capacity with visions of a future where higher education is increasingly accessible.
