Masala
General Information
Masala Cooperative is the first house owned by the BHC. It contains ten rooms on four levels in an old house located at the bottom of the University Hill area of Boulder.
Food
The Masala co-op is dedicated to providing our residents with quality locally grown organic food whenever possible. The Co-op was instrumental in the creation of the Flatirons Neighborhood Farm, our ultra-local urban CSA, which supplies us with tasty veggies all summer long. Masala has house meals Monday through Thursday at 7pm and on Sunday we have brunch at noon. All house meals are vegetarian.
Community Events
The Masala Community tends to be a lively and creative bunch. The Masala Halloween Party has become a very well attended annual tradition thanks to mysterious Masala member “Kid Chaos,” who only reveals himself on very special occasions. The past two years the party has included a live, outdoor theater performance including fire-spinning, music, and zombie-dancing.
How to Join:
- Prospective residents need to income qualify unless they are going for the market rate bedroom.
- Attend a house dinner, no phone interviews allowed.
- Fill out an application.
- Interview with the house.
- House will use a consensus process and follow all fair housing guidelines in resident selection.
Openings
Several of our current members are moving on one to biology graduate school in the UK, another to a journalism internship in NYC, and a third is returning home to Nevada to be with her family. As a result, we have rooms opening Feb 6th, April 1st and June 1st of 2012. Additionally, our leases usually turn over at the beginning of August, and we begin our search for new members each year in the middle of the summer. If you’re interested in any of these vacancies, please contact us, and come on over for dinner or brunch to meet the house!

“Masala allowed me to be rooted in Boulder in a way that is not normally possible for someone who cannot afford a house. It gave me a way to really be a citizen of Boulder and not just someone passing through a generic rental property. Perhaps the most valuable thing about Masala is the sense of connection and investment in the larger community, ranging from the eldery lady next door to the family farm where we buy our produce. I imagine how much the city would be enriched to have more places like Masala.”
