About us
Hamwic Housing Co-operative has property mainly in the Portswood and Highfield area of Southampton and provides affordable rooms in shared and self-contained property to single adults with no live-in dependents, who are in housing need. PLEASE NOTE: due to our size and limited resources, Hamwic cannot provide housing for people with special needs and we cannot offer any supported housing.
What is a Housing Co-operative?
A housing co-operative is owned and managed by its members. All members bear equal responsibility for the successful running of the co-operative, to ensure the rules are upheld, the properties are maintained and the co-operative remains financially stable.
Advantages of a Housing Co-op
As the co-operative is a non-profit organisation the benefits of becoming a member include affordable rent and having a say in your own housing. It offers members an opportunity to gain access to high quality housing at low cost, in exchange for member's time, effort and expertise to run the everyday business of the co-op.
Membership
All members are required to attend monthly General Meetings (there are 12 in total every year); And be actively involved in a sub-group, which usually meet once a month. Missing 3 consecutive General Meetings in a row will result in loss of membership. Hamwic can only provide housing for members.
