We bring together community-led housing organizations & allies from across the world, who work to secure housing through collective, non-speculative, people-led solutions
We strive to strengthen communities in their role as urban designers, developers and builders, and more broadly, in their role as active citizens of their cities. We believe in their collective capacity to develop long-term solutions to challenges related to climate change and social transformations through solidarity and resilience.
CoHabitat is a joint initiative by grassroots federations and umbrella organizations, as well as non-profit organizations and academic institutions working in the field of community-led housing.

As an open and action-oriented collaboration, we work together to demonstrate the successes and potential of community-led housing, and make it more widespread and attainable by co-producing knowledge through experience exchanges, peer-to-peer learning and community-managed data production; connecting people across countries, organizations and regions; and co-designing affordable and collaborative financial tools.
