After 50 Years, still creating cost-effective, collaborative communities.

For the past fifty years, Riverton Community Housing has been deeply committed to creating cost-effective and collaborative housing solutions benefitting our Minneapolis based communities. Over the years, we have continued to strive towards sustainable growth, and our goal is to commemorate our 50th anniversary with an updated identity that reflects our commitment and dedication to our mission. We realized that in order to stay competitive in a rapidly changing digital world, modern technology and marketing tools will help us continue to build member-governed communities for the next generation. We are confident that we can continue to provide access to quality housing at a fair price for decades to come.

To share our success and commitment to meeting our mission over the past five decades, we are proud to announce the launch of our Riverton Community Housing blog. It is our goal to provide a platform for our stakeholders, partners, and community members to learn more about us, our impact, and the ways in which we are creating housing solutions. This blog will provide the opportunity to connect and grow our housing community. It is here that we will post stories and feature insights from our various co-ops and their members. This blog is also a platform for us to share how our values and actions are helping create a greener, more sustainable, cooperative housing future. We strive to remain a human-centered organization each and every day, and this new forum will allow us to share the latest tips, resources, and collaboration that shapes our unique and defining community culture.

In 2022, we completed a major rebranding effort that involved the collaboration of our stakeholders and student-led organizations. This effort resulted in several new technologies and processes that enabled us to strengthen our co-op housing solutions. Additionally, this process allowed us to better serve our community and drive innovation. It also resulted in greater communication and transparency with our stakeholders, which has enabled us to provide better customer service. Some of these implementations included Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software, fully branded websites, and reputation management processes. In addition, the new branding efforts have made us more recognizable in our local communities, and this has been further supported by our partnerships with a wide range of external organizations. As we continue to deliver quality housing at a fair price, our residents will have a collaborative voice in decisions that shape their living experience and grow. This has enabled us to create an environment where all opinions are respected, and our commitment to collaboration has enabled us to gain insights into the long-term impact of our decisions. 

Future blog posts will highlight:

• Our Core Values: How did we choose our fundamental beliefs and highest priorities?

• The Co-op Advantage: What is member-governed cooperative housing and what is the experience like?

• Our History: How did Riverton Community Housing start in a dining hall and is continuing to serve as a leader in cooperative housing?

• Sustainability: How do our properties utilize resources efficiently to reduce our environmental impact?

Riverton Community Housing is excited for the next 50 years and beyond. We are dedicated to our mission of providing quality housing at a fair price and bringing together a diverse community of residents who share our core values. Together, we are creating a better living experience for our residents and stronger, more vibrant communities.  It’s an exciting time to be involved in the cooperative housing movement, and we look forward to connecting with our residents and members on a deeper level. 

Together we can shape the future of housing and celebrate the achievements of our members and co-ops. Let’s celebrate all the successes, the past, present, and future and together we can create communities that will last for generations to come. This is the essence of Riverton Community Housing. We invite you to join us in the journey ahead!
