Community of Urbana-Champaign Cooperative Housing, or COUCH, is an association of student housing cooperatives in Champaign and Urbana, Illinois. It is a member of NASCO. COUCH began in 1997 as an umbrella organization for the independent housing co-ops in the Champaign-Urbana area, but was also founded with the vision of creating a larger co-op community to advance co-oping, establish community, and achieve economies of scale within the co-op community. It currently consists of four houses: *(Gwendolyn Brooks Cooperative )(Urbana), a 14-member house, opened its doors as a member-controlled co-op house in August 2001. *(Harvest House Cooperative ) (Urbana), another 14-member house, was also founded in 2001. *(Greenhouse ) (Urbana), a 9-member co-op, sprang from the ashes of the five-person Phoenix cooperative (2001-2010) in 2010, which had in turn sprung from the ashes of the previous Green House cooperative (1985-2001) in 2001. *(La Casa Grande Colectiva ) (Urbana), founded around 1970, houses seven members and is the oldest independent co-op in Champaign-Urbana. ==External links== * (Couch Website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Community of Urbana Champaign Cooperative Housing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
