Last week with Conscious Coliving and Dr Penny we hosted our first in-person workshop for the Why Coliving? campaign we launched this fall 🍂 Alongside key UK coliving players including urbanbubble, VervLife, HUB, Bridges Fund Management Ltd., Assael Architecture and The Furniture Practice we have launched a collaborative campaign that promotes coliving homes to #localauthorities, national #policymakers and #investors. The campaign is also supported and endorsed by the British Property Federation, CBRE and Cascade and will give local authorities, policymakers and investors the opportunity to better understand coliving and how it can meet their housing agendas. Ultimately, the campaign aims to encourage support for the sector, increase investment and ultimately deliver much needed rental homes 🏘 Find out more in the comments below and reach out if you're interested to join the research and/or core working group! 📩 #coliving #sharedliving #pbsl #housing #policy
