More than markets: Mutual & co-operative housing in the UK

This report explores mutual and co-operative housing in the UK. Bringing together data sources about Housing Co-operatives and Mutuals, Tenant Management Organisations (TMOs), and Community Gateways and Community Mutuals, under the banner of resident-controlled housing for the first time, the report investigates and maps these diverse organisations across the country. The report not only concludes that mutual and co-operative housing is diverse in terms of scale, management, organisational objectives, history and location but also that its scale is greater than previous studies acknowledge. It also reveals that co-operative housing has a major role to play in the evolving mutual economy in the UK and offers social housing an alternative vision to more than marketisation and creeping commercialisation.
