Housing in Service to Life Practitioners Consortium
Housing in Service to Life Practitioners Consortium is a referral and collaboration consortium of housing and place-making professionals who believe that housing should be in service to life and that it is a human right, not a commodity for speculation.
Housing in Service to Life is housing that fosters an ethos of care for people and the environment, that results in residents feeling more connected and sharing more resources, in homes and neighbourhoods designed for the regeneration of place, that are affordable generationally, and that are co-designed with future residents and the larger community.
Common Ground aims to build the capacity and fill the growing demand for more professionals who can collaborate and serve this sector. We are inviting professionals who would like to be a part of a group of professionals working toward making more housing in service to life to join the consortium.
