Working with Cadwyn Housing Association, Jan 2012
A Local Housing Association Cadwyn is considering developing a Cohousing project in Cardiff with us, Cohousing Cymru.
In December we all met with Hanover Housing Association, who are working with 5 cohousing groups in England, to find out more about what is involved in taking the project forward.
Cadwyn would be purchasing the land and building the houses including the Co-house. They are currently deciding whether they are able to take the project forward with us and will be giving us their decision Feb-Mar 2012.
The Welsh Government is interested in exploring Co-operative and Mutual Housing alternative models in Wales and will be establishing several pilot projects.
Cadwyn intend to submit a proposal - to develop a cohousing project with us - to the Welsh Government to be one of these pilot projects.
A meeting to discuss this further is planned for Mar 2012.
This is looking very hopeful as more support will help Cadwyn and us move this innovative project forward.
