Permaculture is not only about creating good food and a healthy ecosystem, but also about creating a good place to live.
With rising housing prices, access to affordable housing is a critical issue in much of the world.
The freedom to choose where and with whom to live is also an important issue. For many people, getting a good-quality affordable home with a garden or land and in a strong community remains a distant dream.
A housing cooperative is a group of people who jointly manage the place where they live.
The members arrange repairs and improvements, decide on the distribution of all costs, and who joins or leaves.
When someone joins the cooperative as a resident, he buys a share in the project, without becoming an individual owner of an existing house or studio on that land.
For example, if he places his own Tiny house on a designated site, he obviously remains the owner of his own purchased Tiny house.
The share as a resident gives the right to live in a house or studio or tiny house, have access to common areas and have a say in new projects.
