Sunwise Co-op is a cooperative household in the Village Homes neighborhood in West Davis. Sunwise is an eco-friendly house run cooperatively, providing low-income housing opportunities in Davis, California. The 8-bedroom house is full of low-impact features such as solar water heating, photovoltaic panels, passive solar design, and composting. We grow our own veggies in a big luscious garden, and enjoy the company of chickens and bees (and each other). We maintain the house through weekly chores and monthly workdays, share vegetarian/vegan dinners Monday through Thursday, and make decisions by consensus during bi-weekly house meetings. All house members must be either students or earn less than 80% of median income for the region, which last year was about $38,000.

Sunwise is owned by Solar Community Housing Association, a Davis non-profit dedicated to create community and respect for the environment through affordable, cooperative housing. We are members of NASCO.

Sunwise has a summer sublet opening! If interested, email or call us! Also, one spot is going to become available on October 1st, 2009. Come and meet us, or better, become our boarder!

Sunwise is open to boarders! (Boarders: someone who cooks and eats with us.) If you are looking for a good place to cook and eat organic vegetarian dinners, with a bunch of friendly faces and at a low budget, please stop by at 7:30, Monday-Thursday. Call us at (530)753-7657.
