The Commission is impartial and will receive evidence across the political spectrum and from a range of related sectors of the economy and civil society. Our Commission is to housing co-operatives what the ‘Monks Commission’ was to the wider co-operative sector in 2001; we aim to develop a long-term strategic framework for growth and management. To help forge a successful mutual future within our housing system for co-operatives and other mutual and resident or community-led organisations, the Commission will need to identify historic as well as current barriers to success. Our evidence-based approach will illuminate these issues, seek to find a way forward for housing co-operatives and mutual housing organisations, recommending practical ways to achieve expansion’.
