Gida Housing Co-operative is set to take on 58 homes in a partnership with Peabody and the GLA, which will see affordable rented housing controlled by Black and racially minoritised communities and residents. This community-led initiative is part of the St Ann’s New Neighbourhood development, a scheme that aims to deliver over 970 new homes on the St Ann’s Hospital site in Tottenham. Representing one of the largest #communityledhousing schemes in London at the moment, Gida’s involvement builds upon historic efforts by the community and St Ann’s Redevelopment Trust (StART) to secure accessible and affordable homes in the area for those in housing need. Yvonne Field OBE, chair of Gida Housing Co-operative said, "We’re excited to have been selected by the GLA as the community led housing organisation to work in partnership with Peabody. This project signifies an important step towards addressing the explicit housing need that Black and racially minoritised communities confront”. Established in April 2021, Gida Housing Co-operative is dedicated to improving the quality and accessibility of housing for Black and racially minoritised communities in Tottenham and across London. Gida’s key vision is to serve as an affordable housing provider that empowers Black and racially minoritised communities by granting them influence and control over the management of their homes. Over the next year, Gida Housing Co-operative plans to expand its membership, strengthen its organisational structure, and secure the necessary funds to deliver a community-led project that genuinely addresses the needs of local people in Haringey. We have supported work on governance, housing allocations, and financial appraisals, which contributed to a successful bid to the GLA for homes on the St Ann’s site. We are currently supporting work on legal arrangements, housing management options and an application to the Regulator for Social Housing. Follow the link for more: https://lnkd.in/eq3n2pmk

It's great to see our first community-led housing project (including selfbuild) featured on the BBC News website. We were visited by reporter Paul Hawkins, who spoke to residents who have built their homes (or are nearly finished) and have now moved in. The selfbuild process has been intense but families are now able to enjoy the benefits of their labour. The development includes a range of tenure types and prices, including full ownership, shared ownership, London-living rent and social housing. As well as building their homes residents have built a supportive and thriving community. A founding principle is that the price of any resale is capped to avoid homes from being sold for profit. The homes will be for living in rather than making money from property. Since the Rural Urban Synthesis Society was founded 15 years ago the project has benefitted from the support of a huge number of volunteers.

“It’s our idea of what a sustainable neighbourhood looks like... Much more than just being affordable, it’s about the idea of agency – having control over where you live. It’s self-build in the broadest sense of building a community, by going through the whole process together. By the time people moved in, strong neighbourly bonds were already formed.”  Rural Urban Synthesis Society captured by Oliver Wainwright https://lnkd.in/e7d-h7MW #communityledhousing #communitylandtrust #selfbuild #cohousing #community #housing #ukhousing

NW3 CLT first gathered in Hampstead Community Centre over 6 years ago in order to celebrate winning £6,000 from community led housing london (CLH) to fund the preparation of a Business Plan. We were delighted that CLH thought our idea for redeveloping a local, Council owned burned out site into cross-subsidised affordable by market housing was worth funding. A year and a half later the Council endorsed our Plan and made us delivery partners for housing on that site. More funding, the appointment of Mole Architects and then a whole raft of building consultants and solicitors followed and after 4 years of hard work and negotiations, we were finally awarded the Planning Permission to bring forward a development of 14 flats, 8 of which affordable on 31 Daleham Gardens, NW3. We are absolutely over the moon and grateful to all those who believed in us and those who worked hard to get us here. More hard work is now ahead as we need to raise significant funds and build the building but having come this far, we feel ready for that challenge too! #affordablehousing #sustainabledevelopment #communityhousing
