Home is where the pines are
Promoting cooperation through providing healthy, quality affordable housing & services
As individuals, we are members empowered through democratic participation to create a community equally accessible to all.
As an organization, we are committed to expanding the cooperative movement.
Since 1939, SHC Co-ops have empowered members just like you.
The Spartan Housing Cooperative (SHC) is a non-profit, autonomous organization providing an affordable off-campus housing option to students and the Greater Lansing community. There are more than 240 members in our 17 houses. Houses vary from 5 to 29 members, each with their own character and history. Our name honors our historical affiliation with Michigan State University, where we remain a registered student organization. However, we operate independently from the university with additional requirements and guidelines for membership.
