How to Start a PREC / Cómo iniciar una cooperativa inmobiliaria permanente

The words "How to Start a PREC" overlay an image of a group of people cheering on an outdoor flight of stairs

Permarealestatecoopawha?! What’s a permanent real estate cooperative, and why are communities across the country turning to them as a way to democratize housing and fight displacement? Join us for conversation, storytelling, Q&A, and a discussion of our non-definitive guide to starting a PREC. We’ll discuss the key principles and considerations that have shaped the legal, financial, and governance structures of a PREC based on our 7 years of thinking about and working with the East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative.

This event will happen online.

This event will be recorded and posted on the Law Center blog June 2023.

(Note that this is not a detailed nuts and bolts legal workshop – see our other upcoming workshop for more on that: How to Choose Between a Coop or a Nonprofit for your Rad Real Estate Project)
