SUMMARY:Community Led Housing - a Feminist Solution
DESCRIPTION:The UK is in the midst of a housing crisis. According to the National Housing Federation\, this is affecting more than 8 million people\, 1 in every 7 people. House prices and rental costs have become unaffordable for many\, such that home ownership rates have declined significantly – from 43% for those aged 27 in the 1970s to 25% for those born in the late 1980s. Having a decent affordable home is a key determinant of people’s health and well-being. \nHousing is also a women’s rights issue with women making up the majority of lead social housing tenants\, and 2 in 3 housing benefit claimants. The gender pay gap means that women on average earn less – the housing knock-on effect is that women in the private rented sector spend an average of 55% of their income on rent\, compared with 36% for men. \nCommunity led housing models (such as housing co-operatives\, community land trusts (CLTs) and co-housing) have emerged as alternative solutions to the housing crisis. \nHosted by the Women’s Equality Party Hackney\, this online event will take a look at the history of community led housing in the UK with a focus on women’s co-housing. Speakers will include Gemma Holyoak (Senior Project Advisor\, Community Led Housing London)\, Marta Brenton (Senior Cohousing Ambassador\, UK Cohousing Network) and Angela Ratcliffe (convenor & resident of Older Women’s Cohousing Group (OWCH). \nDial in details will be emailed to participants ahead of the seminar. \nJoin us for a thought-provoking and inspiring evening!

SUMMARY:Co-op housing in challenging times
DESCRIPTION:Join us online with Co-ops UK and CHIBAH\, Brighton’s community housing network to discuss what housing co-ops can offer during these challenging times. \nIf home-working becomes the norm for many – and a glut of commercial properties become empty – landowners may need to rethink their traditional rental methods. Meanwhile redundancies and unemployment threaten our housing affordability. Never has it seemed more necessary for us to come together with other co-ops\, community groups and community businesses to work out ways that we can build back better. \nClick below to register via Zoom.

SUMMARY:People Powered Homes
DESCRIPTION:All over London\, groups of people are coming together to take control and lead housing projects in their local area. They’re showing that housing can be more than a financial asset; it can bring people together and give them power. \nWe’re inviting members of community led housing organisations across London\, to tell us their story. Come and meet the pioneers of community led housing in London\, learn about different projects and hear from the people putting their vision of better living into practice. \nThere are a huge range of projects across the capital. From bespoke cohousing projects built for shared living\, to people owning homes cooperatively\, to Community Land Trusts with ensuring fairly priced housing forever. \n  \nSPEAKERS\nAmeen\nAmeen is a founding member of Zahra Housing Cooperative\, a group of families in Harrow looking for affordable intergenerational housing. They collective experience of living in private rented housing has been disempowering. They are looking for a long term\, secure alternative and we have been supporting them with their proposal to build three homes on a small garage site in Harrow. \nCathie\nCathie is a member of The London Older Lesbian Cohousing. The group was founded in 2016 when founding member Jude Watson was chatting with friends about how they wanted to live together as they got older. The group are working in partnership with a large Housing Association to build around 20 units of which 25-30% will be affordably rented\, with the remainder available under the Older People’s Shared Ownership scheme or bought outright. \nJack\nJack is a Trustee of Forest CLT\, a membership organisation founded by local residents in 2018 with the mission of creating truly affordable\, community-led housing and sustainable communities in Waltham Forest. They want to build homes that local people really can afford and create community spaces that are there for everyone to use. \n \nSign up to join us \nTo join us on the evening\, register here on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Community Shares: Raising the Right Type of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Over 150\,000 people have now invested in community shares and democratically own and run community businesses across the UK. Through this unique form of finance\, communities have saved local shops and pubs\, financed renewable energy schemes\, transformed community facilities\, supported local food growing\, funded new football clubs\, restored heritage buildings\, and above all\, built stronger\, more vibrant\, and independent communities.\n\nWhat to expect?\n– The main facets and features for using community shares to mobilise and finance enterprises serving a community purpose.\n– Key considerations concerning the business model\, governance\, community engagement\, and the share offer proposition itself.\n– The requisite knowledge to undertake an effective share offer for a community enterprise you are involved with.\n\nWhat I’ll leave with?\n– An excellent understanding of business models that support the use of equity / community shares in social enterprises.\n– Tools and techniques to mobilise and engage your community with a view to build membership and attract investment.\n– Broad knowledge of governance considerations for use of community shares with a focus on the co-operative model.\n– An awareness of best practice standards for community share offers in line with the Community Shares Unit’s Standard Mark.\n\nThe Facilitator\nSimon Borkin leads on the design and delivery of co-operative development programmes at Co-operatives UK\, specialising in community shares and wider co-operative financing models. In this role\, he has led the work of the Community Shares Unit since 2012\, which promotes good practice and raises awareness of community shares as a sustainable funding mechanism for community enterprises.\nSimon is also a board member at Friends of Stretford Public Hall – a Grade II listed heritage space in Manchester\, owned and run by the local community.

SUMMARY:Citizen-led responses to the Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Stir to Action has launched 20 webinars in partnership with Power to Change to provide free training and peer support for those playing a vital role in their local economy during and after the crisis.\n\n\n\n\nThere is a housing crisis in the UK\, which manifests in lack of affordability\, diminishing social cohesion and massive environmental impact. Community led housing is a response to this crisis\, with citizens seeking to develop affordable homes that meet local need and respect the environment. It takes many forms\, including co-operatives\, co-housing\, community land trusts\, self-build and alms-houses. Key elements include the wish for democratic ownership and governance\, mechanisms to make housing affordable in perpetuity\, and increasing opportunities for self-provisioning\, through self-build and self-finish. \nEnabling hubs have been established across England\, Wales and Northern Ireland\, there is cross-party support for community led housing\, and there is a growing body of bottom-up experience to draw on. This webinar aims to explore how you can become involved in this growing citizen-led movement. \n\nTim Crabtree is a co-founder of Wessex Community Assets\, which is one of the UK’s largest enabling hubs for community led housing. He focuses on research and innovation\, and this links with an action research PhD he is undertaking at Plymouth University. Tim has worked for the New Economics Foundation and is the co-founder of a number of successful social enterprises including Local Food Links Ltd\, Dorset Community Energy\, and Bridport Area Development Trust.

SUMMARY:RUSS Housing Meeting vol. 6: London's Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:How can we change it so that housing becomes about people rather than profit? Community Land Trusts all over the UK are fighting rapid gentrification by putting housing in community ownership\, with homes sold or rented at a rate linked to local wages and membership open to anyone with a connection to the area. It’s a radical model that effectively takes housing out of the property market and pegs it to the labour market instead. \nJoin RUSS for the first Housing Meeting of 2020 held at the newly self-built RUSS Community Hub in Ladywell\, Lewisham. \n\nInvited speakers include:\nAnna Minton – writer\, journalist and Reader in Architecture at the University of East London. She is an author of wildly acclaimed Ground Control (2009) and Big Capital: Who is London for? \nAnthony Comber-Badu – freelance photographer\, filmmaker and producer working in Accra and London. Activist and member of the Aylesbury Leaseholders Action Group\, he was recently involved in the production of the original VR documentary Common Ground. \nAnurag Verma – Chair of RUSS Board of Trustees. Anurag studied architecture in India and worked in Germany before moving to London for further study. He lives locally and is an associate director at Latitude Architects.

SUMMARY:RUSS Shorts: 10 tips for reducing the cost of constructing homes
DESCRIPTION:Keeping the costs down – Ten top tips for reducing the cost of constructing homes\nThe cost of building a home can vary enormously – if you’re clever you can build for less that £1\,000 per sq m (but you can easily spend three or four times this). So\, how do you build on a tight budget? This talk will highlight ten key things that will keep the costs down. \nPresenters:\nJon Broome is a member of the RUSS Project Board and Community & Group self-build representative on NaCSBA. \nTed Stevens is a Trustee of RUSS and the former chair of the National Self and Custom Build Association\, NaCSBA. \nTed built his own cost effective home in 2004. He also organised the ‘Self Build on a Shoestring’ competition for five years. He believes it’s perfectly possible to construct a three bedroom family home for less than £100\,000. \nJon is an architect who has self-built two houses\, worked with Walter Segal in Lewisham in the 1980’s and has been active in community and self-build housing since. \n\nRUSS is a volunteer-led Community Land Trust based in south London\, founded in 2009 with the mission of creating sustainable neighbourhoods and genuinely affordable homes.  In June 2018\, RUSS was granted planning permission for 33 homes at Church Grove\, Ladywell\, south east London. It will be London’s largest affordable self-build housing project. \nRUSS has set up a School of Community-led Housing offering individuals\, community groups and housing professionals the chance to learn from RUSS’s many years of experience and gain information about how to set up and develop a community-led housing project. \nFrom January 2020 RUSS will supplement the programme of 1-day workshops with a series of monthly events on specific subjects. The talks are held at our self-build Community space\, and refreshments are offered.

SUMMARY:Foundations for Community-Led Housing: Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:Community-led housing (CLH) has risen from relative obscurity to a topic of increasing importance to citizens\, government and the built environment community. Embraced both as a means of building affordable homes on the capital’s myriad small sites and as a means of rethinking the role of local people in development\, there are now active CLH projects in 24 London boroughs. \nLondon projects have access to £38m of GLA funding\, a hub providing technical expertise to groups and authorities; and land is being made available to SME builders. But even with support\, forming new relationships and ways of working to deliver CLH can be challenging. \nTo support the Mayor’s ambition for a pipeline of 1\,000 homes by 2021\, Future of London led a major action learning programme in 2019\, bringing its membership together with community groups to build relationships\, share learning and support new ways of working. \nJoin us on 3 December for the Future of London report launch\, where we’ll share our research findings and hear responses from communities\, authorities\, delivery partners and political leaders working to maximise the benefits of CLH for London. \nDate: Tuesday\, 3 December\, 9-11:30 am (arrivals from 8:30 am)\nLocation: Central London\, nearest tube station Southwark \nSpeakers include:\n• Rokhsana Fiaz\, Mayor of Newham\n• James Murray\, Deputy Mayor for Housing & Residential Development\, GLA\n• Zohra Chiheb\, Regeneration Manager\, LB Croydon\n• Chris Brown\, Executive Director\, igloo Regeneration\n• Nicola Mathers\, Chief Executive\, Future of London\n• Charli Bristow\, Research & Projects Manager\, Future of London \n  \nFind out more information and register here
