The University Cooperative Housing Association (UCHA) provides reasonably cost housing to qualified students, visiting scholars and faculty of UCLA and other nearby educational institutions. Our student co-op is located just two blocks from campus (within walking distance)and have been serving the UCLA community for over seventy years. The Co-op offers an exceptional opportunity to meet students from the United States and from around the world, and become involved in community and university activities. We are an independent organization run by and for the students who live here. We rely on the participation of our membership to make this a successful alternative to high-cost apartments, residence halls, fraternities and sororities. UCHA was incorporated in 1938 to provide reasonable-cost student housing for those who might not be able to afford other alternatives while attending UCLA. The Co-Op owes its success to many generations of students and staff who have worked together and contribute to the continuation of this unique housing organization.
