The project report 'The Value of Housing Co-operatives in Australia' is now available online. It presents the first data set on affordable rental housing co-operatives across New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia. Building on and amending previous cost-consequences frameworks, it demonstrates the extent of work that tenant-members contribute to their co-operatives, the benefits experienced by tenant-members, and connections between these. It highlights the role of co-operativism and participation in driving beneficial housing outcomes and the value of a diverse housing co-operative sector. The report builds on its findings to make recommendations for thriving co-operatives, identify limitations to its study, and suggest opportunities for future research. #HousingCooperatives #cooperatives Neil Perry Emma Power Professor Wendy Stone Sidsel Grimstad Piret Veeroja, PhD Nestor Guity Jeremy Niass Liz Thomas Nick Sabel Stephanie Miller Eugenie Stockmann Peter Sibly Common Equity Housing Limited (CEHL) Common Equity Housing SA Ltd Common Equity United Housing Co-operative ltd.

SPRING FORWARD - an Inside/Outside Retreat 28th – 31st March 2024 Dyfi Valley, Mid Wales, UK With Artists/Guides Fern Smith & Philip Ralph Spring Forward 2024 is a spacious, guided, small-group retreat intended to support an intentional decision to: ‘Step into the Light, Marking the Moment, Making an Intention.’ The retreat takes place to coincide with that special time in the UK when the clocks are turned forward one hour and we mark the start of ‘British Summer Time’. We frame the weekend as marking a Rite of Passage at this transitional time of the year. What wants to be marked and honoured in your own life. Is it a Severance or Separation? Is it liminal, transitional, Threshold time? Or are you Incorporating a new state, ideas or information into your life? We will draw on the practices of the Ojai Foundation’s ‘Way of Council’, Joanna Macy’s ‘Work That Re-connects’ and ‘The Four Shields’ teachings from The School of Lost Borders during the retreat. It is our profound intention that each participant will leave us and return to the world rested, re-invigorated and with a fresh sense of purpose. The retreat gives time to mark and witness how and where each of us are in our lives at this great time of transition and turning. There will be opportunities to share time and space with a small and supportive group: to rest; to plan; to unravel; to dream, to be... There will be quiet time alone to slow down and for solo reflection, as well as time for witnessing one another and group sharing https://lnkd.in/e7HM6wEx

For all you Edmontonians, Stone-Olafson, the Rozsa Foundation, and invited panelists to discuss the results of the 2nd wave of research on Alberta arts audiences in EDMONTON Alberta continues to be at a crossroads brought by a pandemic that has changed public life and reshaped our economy.

Hard to believe that I've now been working long enough to remember the 2003 and 2016 Land Reform Acts-and 2024 will see number three. Land Reform is an emotive and contentious issue for Scotland. Land managers have a vital role to play and the good work they do needs to be recognised. Policy needs to empower good practice as well as highlighting where it could be better. The mood music around land reform has the potential to delay land-based business decision making and stagnate things like letting of land. The new Act must enable land managers to be a success.
