Hi CLT friends,
This is a friendly reminder that the ACLTN Online Community of Practice is this Thursday, 15 August 2.00-3.30PM! Please use the ACLTN’s
website or Humanitix
page to register.
Session's theme:
As we know, CLTs are relatively unknown in Australia, and that unfamiliarity can impede their adoption and implementation. While there is an emerging sector that is growing from community and government interest, CLTs are an untested model that differs from mainstream Australian homeownership and rental. That means it is hard to know whether CLTs have broader market appeal.
This Community of Practice will be facilitated by Dr Louise Crabtree-Hayes and focus on recently published
research, which shows that resale-restricted CLT homeownership is of interest and appeal to people who want to buy a home but cannot afford market-rate housing. Drawing on focus groups held in Melbourne, the research documents strong and near-universal interest, and ways in which would-be CLT residents saw the model meeting their needs. The paper is
open access - enjoy!
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Regards,
ACLTN and HMAG.
