The cost of developing a cooperative is more expensive than ever. Creating housing that is collectively managed and run, and sticks around for the long term is very hard to make happen within our hugely unequal housing system.

We need financial support to make this project happen! If you are able to financially invest in a housing cooperative like ours you can help fund the expansion of community housing for the long term.

There are several options to support us either through donation if you are able to, or via ‘loanstock’.

What is ‘Loanstock’?

• ‘Loanstock’ is fixed term loans that can be made to a cooperative from an individual or other entities such as other housing cooperatives.

• Payments are made directly to the cooperative and do not go through any intermediary services.

• The loan repayment terms such as interest or the fixed term are agreed between both parties and a formal agreement is made.

• Once the agreed term has elapsed the investment is repaid plus interest.

• The loan is financed by monthly rental payments from members.

• The loanstock is issued as stocks not shares and does not give lenders any powers in the running of the co-op.
