Commonweal Housing is an action learning charity. We create housing projects that incorporate bespoke services for occupiers enduring social injustice in order to demonstrate how these injustices can be resolved.

We provide the housing for such projects, usually from existing housing stock. Since 2007, we have allocated around £4.5million for such projects. 

We work with specialist partners to define, provide and evaluate the bespoke services.  When the methodologies have been proven, we encourage others to replicate the projects throughout the UK as well as lobbying to change public policy to eradicate injustices. 

We are actively seeking opportunities to invest in new projects.The Trustees have set a strategic target that projects supported by Commonweal Housing will be;

• Filling a gap in existing provision
• Challenging a social injustice
• Providing a housing solution 

Sitting beneath that, Commonweal Housing will then filter projects through;

1. The current list of preference areas to achieve a balanced portfolio (these will be revised no less than bi-annually) 
2. Our 10 point criteria for accepting or rejecting projects 

Commonweal have now published our new 3 Year Business Strategy 2013-2015. It includes;

• Vision, Mission, Values and Strategic Targets
• Organizational structure
• Assumptions
• Outline Action Plan Priorities 2012 – 2015
