Abstract: The study aims to assess the Co-op Ville of the Federation of Peoples’ Sustainable Development Cooperative (FPSDC). The purpose of this study is to showcase the experiences and stories of different typhoon survivors and how they changed after benefiting from a cooperative housing program. A qualitative case study was the research design used in this study. This method enabled the collection of a thorough analysis of the problem. To investigate and gather a comprehensive narrative, a collective method—a one-on-one interview—was employed. The information gathered was analyzed and data was presented to further explain the case. Findings of the study revealed that FPSDC’s housing program and the implementation of Co-op Ville demonstrates how cooperatives in the Philippines can effectively and efficiently create solutions for dealing with issues of housing. The findings showed that the cooperative had succeeded in creating sustainable communities for both typhoon survivors and those living in hazardous or life-threatening locations. Moreover, it is noticeable that the cooperative housing initiative had an impact on the lives of typhoon survivors and on the government side. Through the implementation of various considerations, programs, developments, and initiatives for its beneficiaries, the cooperative housing program was able to help the typhoon survivors in meeting their housing needs as well as in areas of livelihood, wellness, health, belongingness, esteem, and safety. Although there are still improvements to be made to the housing facility’s assets and infrastructure, a project like this could improve the overall housing issue in the country.
