About the Commission
An independent Commission to explore the historic role of housing co-operatives and chart potential mutual futures for this diverse sector has been set in motion by the Confederation of Cooperative Housing, Co-operatives UK, the Cooperative Development Society, social housing providers Accord, Matrix, Hanover and Trident, and the Housing Associations Charitable Trust (hact).
The Commission is also supported by the National Housing Federation (NHF) and the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH). All main political parties have signaled their interest and the work of the Commission was acknowledged in the recent CLG 'Communities in Control' White Paper.
The Human City Institute (HCI) and the University of Birmingham's Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (CURS) are carrying out independent research to inform the Commission's work.
The Commission will sit for around 15 months, publishing a series of interim reports, findings, and articles, organising a range of events to disseminate findings widely and promote the sector extensively with policy-makers, other sectors, residents and communities. An interim report will be published in Autumn 2008 and a final report in late Summer 2009.
Commission for Co-operative & Mutual Housing - Call for Evidence
The Commission for Co-operative & Mutual Housing is researching co-operative and mutual housing with an intention to produce a report that will be promoted to all political parties in Autumn 2009. As part of CCMH's work, it has launched a call for evidence so that individuals and organisations can feed in views and evidence about co-operative & mutual housing. Further information about CCMH can be found on their website.
As the CCH, we are particular keen to see as many housing co-ops and other tenant controlled housing organisations feed their views and information about best practice in their organisations to the CCMH.
The CCMH - Call for Evidence is available in two formats:
