Beyond shelter: a different model for tackling homelessness

Ella Hancock reflects on how her Fellowship explored whether shared housing could offer more choice, dignity, and belonging for people at risk of homelessness. Drawing on visits to cohousing communities in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US, she shares how shared spaces, community-led models, and resident agency can help reduce isolation and create more supportive places to live. As the housing crisis deepens, Ella argues that the strongest ideas from cohousing could help shape more affordable, inclusive housing in the UK.
