LILAC Co-Housing

LILAC (Low Impact Living Affordable Community) is the UK's first affordable ecological co-housing development, consisting of 20 households in Leeds built using straw-bale construction and a Mutual Home Ownership Society model.

Impact

Pioneered the Mutual Home Ownership Society (MHOS) model, making eco co-housing financially accessible to low-income households. Featured in national media and government housing policy discussions.

LILAC is a pioneering community of 20 households in Leeds that demonstrates how affordable, ecological, and community-led housing can be achieved at scale. The project uses straw-bale construction and a Mutual Home Ownership Society (MHOS) financial model that keeps homes permanently affordable.
