About Us

Welcome!

We are Harambee Housing Co-operative Ltd.

Harambee Housing Co-op is a vibrant and welcoming multicultural community located in South Winnipeg near Pembina Highway and Abinojii Mikanah. Nestled among trees and natural greenery, Harambee offers families a peaceful, community-oriented place to call home, conveniently close to schools, transit, and shopping.

Founded in 1991 by members of Winnipeg’s local Black community, Harambee was created to address the need for accessible and affordable family housing. Guided by the spirit of “Harambee”— pulling all together—we proudly became Winnipeg’s first multicultural housing co-op.

Members actively participate in shaping our community through democratic decision-making and an elected Board of Directors. Shared spaces, including our on-site Recreation Centre, playground, and community garden plots, support a strong sense of connection and belonging. With the support of on-site management and dedicated volunteers, Harambee continues to thrive as a diverse, family-friendly community built on cooperation, respect, and mutual support.

The co-op has a total of 54 units composed of 38 three and four-bedroom townhomes and 16 two-bedroom coach homes with a variety of unique floor plans.

Our Mission

Harambee Housing Co-op Ltd provides quality, community-based, and affordable housing for Manitoba’s mixed-income families. We foster a safe, inclusive environment where members work together to build a strong, diverse, and sustainable community.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving, multicultural co-operative community where families of all backgrounds feel secure, respected, and connected. By nurturing our shared spaces, strengthening community engagement, and upholding the principles of cooperation, we build long-term stability and a meaningful sense of belonging for current and future members.

Our Organization

Harambee Housing Co-op is democratically governed by its members, who elect a Board of Directors to oversee the Co-op’s operations. Decisions affecting the community are made at General Meetings and our Annual General Meeting. Daily operations are carried out by on-site management staff and supported by dedicated member volunteers. Together, we work to ensure the continued success, affordability, and sustainability of our co-operative community.
