Notable measures that have not been considered for affordable housing include government interventions such as: co-housing, state direct procurement, state financed home-ownership etc.
The initial stage in the development of a co-housing community involves a diverse group of multigenerational people forming a vision of their ideal neighbourhood.
Large enough to accommodate 26 households and a common house, in keeping with the co-housing model, the sunny site was within easy walking distance to town, the group said.
The co-housing project started after a number of families who knew of each other attended a visioning workshop by a local community-based organization.
Governments at all levels should, where appropriate, work to remove impediments to the establishment of co-housing communities, micro apartments and other non-conventional housing projects.
