CoHab Athens is an open group, an exchange platform for urban researchers, activists and anyone interested in claiming housing as a right and exploring alternative housing models through self-management and collective ownership. It was created as a research group in 2016 it draws inspiration from successful cooperative housing models that have been implemented abroad. CoHab Athens uses participatory workshop methods and holds and ongoing workshop since November 2017 in order to diagnose local needs related to housing, as well as to explore the possibilities for the creation of the first project of cooperative housing/collective ownership in Athens.
Based on knowledge our team has acquired over the past four years through research, workshops, open discussions, informal talks, working groups and visits to housing cooperatives abroad, we describe what cooperative housing and collective ownership is and how it works, how it is organised and how it can be funded, and we propose two possible scenarios for its implementation in the city of Athens. We have worked with a range of possible scenarios, -dispersed cohousing, real estate market building, donated and exchanged buildings, publicly owned buildings- and we have tried to address a variety of needs in each economic and architectural model.
