Housing Associations and Cohousing; How to create inclusive, affordable, collaborative neighbourhoods for older people

This UK Cohousing Network publication is a review of Housing 21's cohousing strategy in Birmingham, offering a culmination of the insights and reflections shared by the members of Housing 21’s leadership, management, community engagement teams, future residents, and expert focus group.

Drawing upon the experiences of Housing 21 and other pioneering housing associations that have embarked on the journey of designing and building new inclusive and affordable neighbourhoods, hand in hand with their residents, the work also explores and acknowledges other collaborative housing options that have emerged.

This review is aimed at leaders and decision makers in housing associations who are exploring collaborative models of housing to achieve better outcomes and heightened levels of engagement with residents.
