In Our Words: 

 
The Phoenix Co-op currently houses 25 members - both students and professionals with a range of different ages - bringing a diverse and family-like environment to our co-op. We are located close to the Memorial Union and State Street in a spacious 1920′s French chateau style building. The house is beautified by its original woodwork, an excellent spiral staircase, and a frequently-used fireplace.
 
Phoenix uses a modified consensus decision-making process - everyone's voice is heard, and decisions are made accordingly. We look for committed members who have a serious interest in living cooperatively as well as a desire to contribute your experience and energy to the house, even if you are just staying for the summer.
 
We proudly stand behind MCC’s mission of creating a healthy and safe space for every member, regardless of their background or identity. Our goal as a cooperative house is to create a sustainable and empowering community for all who want to partake in it, as well as offering low-income housing to Madison as a whole.

Membership

Membership Process: 

Stop on by for a meal to see the house and meet folks! We serve dinner Sunday through Thursday at 7pm, and we make brunch Sunday at noon. An email beforehand is preferred - that way we can make sure that the house knows you're coming. Membershipping: 3 meals, then an informal interview session for you to meet the house and for members to meet you! We ask membershippers to attend a total of 3 meals so that the house can get to know you and you have the chance to get to know the house. After the second meal, the membership coordinator will schedule a membership meeting with you. The meeting consists of a question and answer session for everyone to ask you more about yourself in order for them to make an informed decision. We then put you membership up to vote, and the membership coordinator would get back to you after 24 hours to let you know the result.
