Community-led Finance for Adequate Housing – Webinar 4 December 2025

To mark the publication’s release and open space for dialogue, we officially launched « Community-led Finance for Adequate Housing » in an online webinar on December 4th. Partners from across the three regions shared insights, lessons learned, and recommendations for strengthening community-led finance as a pathway toward housing justice.

Community-Led Finance: Local Solutions Transforming the Housing Crisis

From 2024 to 2025, urbaMonde worked with nine grassroots organisations from Africa, Asia, and Latin America—members of the CoHabitat Network—to systematise community-led financial mechanisms. The resulting publication presents their origins, how they function, key challenges, and the practices that have enabled them to grow and endure.

Celebrating 10 years of the CoHabitat Network

Held in Geneva from 30 September to 4 October, the meeting marked the 10th anniversary of the CoHabitat network.

More than 80 participants from over 50 organisations and 23 countries came together to reflect on the past decade and explore future collaborations in the field of participatory and cooperative housing.

Discussions focused on ethical and community financing for affordable housing, collective land ownership and advocacy strategies for organised residents’ groups. The event also provided an opportunity to define the next steps for ongoing collaboration over the coming months.
