Participate in the Study

Are you interested in participating in an interview?

Thank you for your interest in participating! We are currently looking to interview current or former Vancouver co-op members who lived in a housing co-op for at least 6 months.

We are interested in learning more about your experiences as a housing co-op member in Vancouver and we would like to discuss your experience living in a co-op, how the housing operates, how you have experienced support in your housing, your previous housing experiences, and your relationship to your neighbours and communities through the co-op.

Interviews can take place in-person, on Zoom or on the phone–whatever you are most comfortable with. Interviews will be audio-recorded and last approximately 30-60 minutes. Members who participate in an interview will receive $40 cash in acknowledgement of their time and expertise.

If you’re interested in volunteering your time and participating in an interview as part of this study, or if you have any questions, please contact us by sending Samantha an email: spthomps@uvic.ca.
