CoHabitat Network at the International Social Housing Festival 2025

It’s finally here – the long-awaited International Social Housing Festival (ISHF) is coming!
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.
