‘We are treating housing as an investment rather than a home and we’re causing people to be homeless because it’s not profitable for somebody else’s investment’

The value of co-operative housing is backed by research by Western Sydney University and has been identified in the State of the Housing System 2024 report as a mainstream housing pathway. And this is why.

‘I really liked the village aspect of it and having that sort of social side of things. I was a single mother [when I first moved in] with a child and it was a really good way for both of us to have more social contact”

‘…it’s a really supportive way for people to live’

‘…feeling safe, a positive impact on mental health, a strong sense of community and wellbeing among the benefits of co-op living.’
