[Cash-outreach-engagement-circle] [Cash-newsletter] Inclusive Housing Co-ops - Join the research and training project!

[Herta Gatter]

Hi Jim,

These two sessions will be in person but there might be other remote ones in the future!

Your work sounds super interesting and it would be definitely good to align and figure out how we can best work together! Are you free for an online meet with me and the rest of the CASH outreach team sometime in the next few weeks?

Thanks,

Herta Gatter

The first version to help community-led housing groups develop their plan was launch in 2021, and the second toolkit dealing with retrofitting homes is currently in beta release, with full launch planned for January. This will initially be distributed to members of CCH.coop who are the funders and owners of Wayshaper, but then aiming for wider distribution as the toolkit is also suitable for all types of community-led housing organisations, and indeed, any home owner.

>> I hope this email finds you well.
>> 
>> I’m getting in touch from Community Assets for Society and Housing (CASH), an SE London Community Land Trust bringing residents and local organisations together to create more co-ops. I would like to invite you to help design and deliver a funded research and training project called Inclusive Housing Co-ops.
>> 
>> What is a co-operative?
>> A housing co-op is a group of people who collectively own and manage their homes. Residents are tenants AND landlords, so rents are low and security is guaranteed in the long term. Co-ops are supportive communities where each person has an equal say in making decisions.
>> 
>> What do we want to find out?
>> ·	How can we more people to benefit from the long term safety and affordability that co-ops provide?
>> ·	How can we make co-ops more equitable, diverse and inclusive (EDI)?
>> 
>> Why are we interested in this?
>> We believe that co-operatives can offer a genuinely affordable and community minded solution to the crisis we are living in. There are 300 existing co-ops in and around London and we want to help them become more inclusive. We are also passionate about creating new co-ops for people from all backgrounds.
>> We are looking for both co-operative members and interested individuals from the wider community to form a core group to design a training and research project, including looking for funding and support from external organisations. No previous experience needed just an interest in affordable housing or diversity and inclusion!
>> 
>> As a first step we are planning a drop in info session and then the project will then officially start in November with a workshop facilitated by an EDI expert Milka Fisiha <https://www.linkedin.com/in/milka-fisiha%F0%9F%92%9A%F0%9F%A7%A1-42007464/>.
>> 
>> Drop-in info session: 28 October 1-2pm
>> Kick-off workshop: 11 November 12-2pm
>> Location: The Field NX, 385 Queens Road
