Worth a watch: Cooperative Housing Development - Thinking Outside the Box

This webinar provided real accounts from people involved in developing new housing cooperatives by thinking outside the box. We discussed with cooperators and project managers developing cooperative and community-led housing in Europe and beyond.

Speakers shared their experiences and knowledge related to innovative financing models, the benefits of creating a regional network and the challenges of developing a housing cooperative based on collective ownership in Central and Eastern Europe.

Different groups around the world are using innovative financing tools to raise capital for their cooperative housing initiatives. However, they didn’t come by these ideas alone. By forming regional networks, collaborating and networking they were able to pool their thoughts together to come up with innovative ideas, allowing them to move forward.
