Housing co-operatives are a community of people who work together to meet their housing needs.
Through the CEHL Honour Board, the CEHL Board celebrates the outstanding individuals whose commitment and dedication have contributed to strengthening their co-ops and the broader CEHL co-operative community.
The 2022/23 nominees were:
