The US/TU Membership process is a generally 4-6+ month process that involves attending a tour, filling out a questionnaire, doing a credit check, having a liaison, attending meetings, potlucks and events, learning about the Eco Village generally, the Housing Co-Op specifically, and our policies and community, and finally, community approval.

Community approval for membership takes place in phases:

1. Interested phase,
2. Open Enrollment Round,
3. Green Light Cohort,
4. Provisional Membership,
5. Full Membership, and
6. Owner-Membership

Candidates are allowed to move in after being approved by the community for Provisional Membership, but we usually have full occupancy and a waitlist for units.

Please explore the documents below to learn more about our process.
