• How To Set Up A Housing Co-operative - Radical Routes

 Why pay rent into a landlord's pocket when you can have rented housing controlled by tenants? With the legal structure of a housing co-operative people on low incomes can collectively borrow money and raise mortgages which would be beyond their reach as individuals. In setting up housing co-operatives we empower ourselves by taking control over one of the most fundamental aspects of our lives and in the process we transfer property from private owner-ship to common ownership. Housing becomes a resource not a commercial commodity. With fully mutual par value co-operatives [everyone owns an equal value share in the venture, usually a nominal £1 which this book promotes, the ownership of houses and land cannot be divided among individual members. The property remains in common ownership from generation to generation and if the co-operative is dissolved its assets cannot be pocketed by individu-als. They must be passed to another co-operative or to a not for profit organisation with similar aims and principles.
