V kontexte, ktorý ste uviedli dodatočne, vyznieva tento pojem celkom odlišne. Po prvé, ak ide vlastne o charitu financovanú štátom alebo darcami, nepôjde o "bytové" ale "ubytovacie" zariadenie, ktoré - podľa štatútu - môže mať charakter nielen družstva, ale aj občianskeho združenia. Ďalší príklad, ako sa bez kontextu nedá hľadať správny význam!!!

Discussion
So not neccessarily as you've explained it. I think that "bytove druzstvo" is the best choice.
