What is this WEBSITE about?


althousing.net is series of articles, events and materials. It is part resource, part platform and part rant. Alternative Housing is looking at applying these ideas to one of our basic needs, shelter. Housing which centres around the dynamic principles of self-help, independence and social change. Examples vary but include co-ops, squats and co-housing. Alternative housing is the vision of sustainable, grassroot communities free from landlords, interference and powerlessness; and dynamic enough to be involved in promoting wider social change.
