train with us!
BACLT's workshops empower residents to learn the skills needed to take full ownership of their housing — from keeping housing in good repair, budgeting and managing co-op finances, learning to have effective meetings, and how to resolve conflicts that arise."

CO-OP TOOLS FOR THRIVING
Successful cooperatives result from robust training, education, and technical assistance programs.
From hard to soft skills, we have all the tools you'll need
to build and maintain a thriving cooperative community.
If you're new to home ownership, you're not alone.
Many co-op members have never owned property either.
Together, learn how to manage your property to last for generations.
