California Center For Cooperation Development

Technical Assistance.CCCD provides technical assistance in many ways, including development assistance, governance training for co-ops, and cooperative business support. Development assistance includes performing feasibility & business planning, start-up, expansion, and related support. Our work with housing, worker, and farmer cooperatives continues to grow. CCCD helps residents in Manufactured Home Parks to cooperatively purchase their community; through democratic resident control they are able to strengthen their community, stabilize housing costs and optimize their housing security.

Cooperative Conferences and Events.In 2024, CCCD convened our annual Agricultural Director and Executive Conference in Fresno. Our annual California Co-op Conference also convened in San Diego. The two-day conference included several panels and workshops, with many of them either presented in Spanish or offering simultaneous interpretation. A suite of workshops offered MCLE credits for attorneys. CCCD staff also presented and participated in conferences and events.
