The Self
help housing website provides ordinary people, who are perhaps unable
to access mainstream housing or who want to tackle local problems, with
the tools to take on and make use of the increasing number of empty
properties in our cities, towns and villages It´s the first time that
this range of information has been brought together in one place where
it can be accessed by anyone.
Many of today´s
large housing associations and co-ops were started up forty or fifty
years ago by local people with just a couple of properties and so it´s
not really a new idea; just one that needs reviving.
The site provides everything you need to know:
-how to get organised
-how to get hold of and borrow empty properties from their owners
-where to go for funding
-how to organise any necessary repairs
-how to use volunteers &
-how to turn renovating properties into a training opportunity.
-plus a bank of specimen documents
It also provides many useful contacts to enable you to find out what other people have done and achieved:
-case studies highlighting different types of successful projects
-a directory of projects already involved in self help housing &
-links to other organisations and website, click here
