Co-operative Housing Sector Discusses Policy Needs to Address UK Housing Crisis
What happened
The Confederation of Co-operative Housing, the UK’s national representative body for co-operative housing, highlighted the need for supportive legislation and finance to tackle the UK’s housing crisis. An All-Party Parliamentary Group event brought together leaders and parliamentarians to discuss how co-operative housing models could play a greater role in addressing the crisis. Discussions centered on introducing a recognized co-operative housing tenure and securing appropriate and affordable finance for the sector.
Why it matters
The push for supportive legislation and recognized tenure for co-operative housing could influence housing supply and development costs across the UK. The sector, which represents approximately 13,800 tenant-members, is seeking government conditions to expand its operations.
