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 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.
