Green Pastures Senior Cooperative is a 51-home, resident-owned manufactured home community for people over the age of 55.
But that transition didn’t happen overnight. We formed the Green Pastures Senior Cooperative, Inc. and started on the path to resident-ownership in 2009. With the help of CASA of Oregon and ROC USA, LLC, we purchased and assumed community responsibility on Oct. 10, 2009.
Now, the resident-owned community (ROC) is a successful business and a thriving neighborhood.
The process of the resident-owned community acquiring the land beneath our neighborhood brought this community closer together. Not only do we know far more of our neighbors than ever before, but we look out for one another, too. And with no outside landlord to report to, we are a manufactured home family.
The Member households elect our Board of Directors, which works with a property management firm and also appoints various volunteer committees to help with special projects, celebrations, community improvements and more. The Board submits an annual budget and the entire Membership votes on it with any proposed changes to the rent before it becomes official. We’re running the business that is our community on our terms, by our rules, for the betterment of ourselves and our neighbors.
