Yes!! starting with an accessible building makes a huge difference. Still a long hard road ahead though, we need determined, active new members - follow @morrell_house_coop on insta for more interaction than we manage on the twit.

Oh wow, an ex-care-home housing co-op plan! https://t.co/FtX0E9Rkci Any disabled people who live/might want to live in York, would def be worth checking out @morrellcoopyork

[SEASALT student housing coop @SEASALTHousing]

Last year, we ran our campaign to purchase our first house and start an autonomous student housing coop in Brighton and Hove.

We worked with @BaHCLT @ethexuk and @EcologyBS to provide a sustainable, radical and ethical way of living for students. 1/3

[Morrell House Housing Co-op @morrellcoopyork]

we need more #housingcoops and community-owned housing, take back properties from the landlords - housing for shelter not profit.

Could you find a home to rent in your area if you were on benefits?

@TBIJ reveals it’s impossible for those on housing benefits to find a home to rent across large swathes of Britain ✋

ah, but you're practically touching it!

[Chapeltown Cohousing @ChacoLeeds]

@morrellcoopyork Thanks 😀
...although we're still not 100% there yet...

[Morrell House Housing Co-op @morrellcoopyork]

Morrell House #housingcoop members watched this together tonight - we're so inspired! And a little bit daunted... we're going to be in it for the long haul. Congratulations to ChaCo for reaching the finishing line x x

Here's the blurb for the ChaCo documentary airing on BBC1 at 7.30pm on 19 August. 📽️📺😎

[Joseph Elliott @J_Elliott94]

What’s driving England’s housing crisis?

In part, it’s because we’re now a country of *multiple* home ownership and private renters.

In the last 20 years the proportion of adults owning multiple homes doubled, the %s of 16-34 y/os buying a home almost halved. 🏘️🧵

[Co-op Finance @coop_finance]

Arguments for #Coops are plentiful - this is a great read ⬇️⬇️

[Tom Chance @tom_chance]

Parish and town councillors have helped to get a lot of @CommLandTrusts going, provided seed-corn funding, helped with community engagement and supported planning applications. So it was great to speak to NALC members about affordable housing and #communityledhousing approaches.

[Morrell House Housing Co-op @morrellcoopyork]

is there an ACORN branch in York? We could do with one

[Brighton & Hove Community Land Trust @BaHCLT]

Great work @ACORN_Brighton

[Vivian Woodell @Cooperator1]

I've just invested to support @BunkerCoop. They have just 4 days left to raise the rest of the money they need. They're 82% of the way there - can you help them reach their goal and build this fantastic project? You can help with as little as £250.

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

Evening food is being started with a delicious self-assembly bruschetta. (Basil is incredible) accompanied by hearing what @morrellcoopyork and @york_collective have taken from conversations so far about connecting up small scale growers with people who want veg.

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

✍️ Key issues facing many people at the moment are increasing rents & increasing competition to find a private rented home.

Just flagging in case you can help #Brighton’s Bunker #HousingCoop reach the £150,000 loan stock target they need to secure mortgages for building two more affordable, beautiful eco-houses on unused council land https://t.co/JPmaZenhoL

[Morrell House Housing Co-op @morrellcoopyork]

no point waiting for an increase in council housing! more support needed from Local Authorities for people trying to help themselves and the common good #housingcoops

[Big Issue @BigIssue]

At least 30,000 people have waited 10 years for social housing https://t.co/JK1z4JqRwT

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Can't believe I'm writing this, but I wonder if this winter well need 'warm banks' the equivalent of 'food banks' where people who can't afford heating are invited to spend their days at no cost with heating (eg libraries, public buildings)?

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

This video @BunkerCoop just about sums up everything about why we need more housing coops and why we need them urgently. I’ve invested in two housing coops and am glad my money is helping people to live securely and flourish. @CoopHousingUK @BaHCLT @SEASALTHousing
