Well done to the Co-operative Party.

Co-operative housing already shows what’s possible when people own where they live. Fair rents, strong communities, real security.

In Parliament today, the Housing Minister agreed: it’s time to explore how law can help it grow.

We've created a #StarterPack of #cohousing neighborhoods on BlueSky, both established & in formation. Who else should be on this list? We can include similar groups like #HousingCoops and #ecovillages so long as they share mix of privacy & community, resident leadership ... bsky.app/starter-pack...

After factory closures, faith + labor allies in CT helped residents form 6 housing co-ops that still thrive today. Collective ownership works.

By defining these models in law, councils and investors can finally back them. This is about building community wealth instead of private profit — and putting people first, so that everyone can thrive.

The UK Government has now confirmed the Rent Standard 2026. What does this mean for #HousingCoops?

The new standard applies from 1 April 2026 and sets the framework for rent-setting across England for the next decade.

For some, #HousingCoops can be a forever home in community. For others, just getting any form of #homeownership is the essential piece; if all your income goes to rent, how do you save? This is a piece of the puzzle.

Co-op housing projects that allow people to get an equity-leg-up so they can move on to their own home purchase is a wise initiative.
Plus, they can provide space for the missing middle, that may still be in school, or may have recently graduated.

I Will Fight For Universal Homes - editorial in this week's Waterford News & Star!

A photo of a sponsored editorial in Waterford News & Star which reads: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed our generation. Many of those I know struggle to afford rent despite having good jobs. Others were pushed out of the country, away from their communities, friends and families, in order to be able to obtain a better quality of life in Sydney, Vancouver, or elsewhere in Europe. I always tell people that I am experiencing the ‘Irish Dream’ of living with my parents in my late twenties; just like roughly 2 in 3 people my age (68% of those who are 18-34 years old). Everyone knows that these parties continue to ruin our chances of getting a home, and it’s easy to point out their economic illiteracy (or nefarious incompetence) in housing policy, but it is a much more challenging task to highlight a radical, positive, and tangible alternative vision for a better housing system. In this editorial, I will attempt to do so; in detailing this, I bring my experience in tenants’ unions in recent years, both as an active member of Living Rent Tenants’ Union in Scotland and as a founding member of CATU (Community Action Tenants’ Union) Waterford, in addition to my personal experience living and renting in various cities and countries throughout Europe. I have extensively researched the various housing models in existence across the world, and one stands out for its complete success in avoiding a Housing Crisis despite existing within an economy built on Western values and facing a large population increase in recent years; the Vienna Model. We know the ingredients which allows Vienna’s housing system to thrive; a mix of expansive near-universal public housing (80% of Vienna’s population qualifies based on income limits), support for housing co-ops, and stringent rent controls which set a maximum rent for each property based on a rent index designed by local government. Taken together, this represents a conscious and complete rejection of the financialisation of homes wh…
