The way we're funding our low-cost units is essentially the same. Grant money comes from central government via a regional housing authority (Scottish Homes) which helps identifies projects in consultation with local authorities (eg. Midlothian District Council, Edinburgh District Council, etc.) and then channels money to the local authorities which gives the money to projects, usually via Housing Associations, which are autonomas non-governmental organisations that build low-cost housing. We will be working with one particular Housing Association which will act as the developer for the whole project, and which will sell us the full-cost houses,and partially subsidises houses (I think) and the common land, and act as landlord for the rental units. Or else they might sell us all the houses with the Cohousing organisation owning the rental units. We haven't worked out the exact strategy yet, as this is all new over here, and the involvement of government grants and housing associations to enable low-cost housing complicates matters. The important thing is that we will be working with the Housing Association as any cohousing group would work with its developer, i.e. designing site and buildings, and managing the site after moving in. We will probably have a similar number of grant-assisted to full cost houses as yourselves, maybe slightly higher. -- Paul Milne EDINA Edinburgh University Data Library
