Riverton Community Housing is a nonprofit organization that provides cooperative, student-oriented housing options designed to keep quality living affordable for students in the Minneapolis area. Established in 1945 and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the organization operates a portfolio of housing communities linked by a democratic, member-driven model aimed at accessibility and stability for students attending the University of Minnesota and nearby colleges. Its mission centers on developing and maintaining cooperative housing that prioritizes affordability and democratic governance, rather than profit. Over the years, Riverton has expanded from a dining co-op to a broader set of housing cooperatives and related rental properties, totaling hundreds of units and continuing to emphasize affordable, quality housing in the student housing market. In addition to ongoing operations, Riverton has pursued public-facing communications through a blog and an impact report to document its activities and outcomes, reflecting its commitment to transparency and community engagement.
