Collective Ownership
A new kind of home.
Stable, affordable.
Controlled by residents.
Collective Ownership is for everyone, it bridges the gap between home ownership and social housing to tackle housing insecurity and empower communities.
What is Collective Ownership?
A not-for-profit, scalable and resident-led tenure to build a fair housing system.
Collective Ownership provides a social purpose alternative to the private sector, combining democratic resident control with mutualised economic power to deliver large scale impact. We use social investment to transfer land and properties from private ownership into a commonly-owned asset porfolio. Properties are leased to members and any surplus is recycled into buying more homes transforming the market year on year.
