Co-op Properties

MANAGING AGENTS

Eight resident-led co-operatives manage 295 of the homes that Hexagon owns under a formal management agreement. The properties still belong to Hexagon and the residents living in these homes have the same rights and responsibilities as those living in the homes that Hexagon manages directly.

HOUSING CO-OPS

The managing agents of these homes are, in the main, housing co-operatives – this is where the residents manage their own homes through an elected committee of officers or by monthly general meetings.  Most of the co-ops also employ staff to carry out the day-to-day tasks.

CO-OP SERVICES AND HEXAGON SERVICES

Hexagon has formal management agreements with the co-ops that detail the division of responsibilities for managing these homes.

Hexagon does still provide some services to co-op managed residents, such as major works and cyclical maintenance. In addition, co-op managed residents have access to Hexagon’s transfer waiting list.
