Cooperative Home Care Associates
Industry Services
A worker cooperative providing home-care services, with caregiver ownership, workforce training, and a direct stake in a low-power care sector. Cooperative Home Care Associates scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, and no current penalty outweighs that structure.
Why this matters: Care-work cooperatives directly test labor sovereignty in a high-need sector.
