A part of CCMH’s evidence gathering is to launch a national CALL FOR EVIDENCE & VIEWS so that they can hear what you think about co-operative & mutual housing.

They particularly want to hear from: 

• People who live in or work with or who have specific knowledge of co-operative & mutual housing.
• People who may not currently have a detailed knowledge of co-operative & mutual housing but who are interested in it.
• Policy-makers and local and national politicians.
• Statutory, community and third sector organisations involved with housing, community and social enterprise strategies.

It is part of the CCMH’s remit to define what is meant by co-operative & mutual housing, but for purposes of this call for evidence, they are including a wide range of organisations, that includes housing co-operatives, tenant management organisations, community gateway associations, co-ownership and co-housing societies, community land trusts and some community membership owned housing associations and community development trusts.

They would be pleased to hear anything you wish to tell them about housing co-operatives and mutual housing, but to guide interested parties they have assembled a number of key questions that cover the key topics that they wish the consultations to cover.

If you would like to give evidence please go to the 'Call for Evidence' section of the CCMH website

Closing date for the consultation is 29 May 2009.
