Report highlights the untapped potential of #cooperativehousing. #Coops are 20% of all housing stock in Copenhagen vs 0.05% in Australia. Improved funding could lift co-ops’ share to 10% of all community housing. Government should reinstate mandated funding for #coophousing.

Our thanks also to Common Equity Housing Limited (CEHL) for producing the report.
