Description:

Exeter Student Housing Cooperative (ESHC) is a not for profit organisation that is run by the members for the members.

Exeter Student Housing Cooperative (ESHC) will create a new community focused housing project.

The ESHC will establish a community oriented student housing co-op as a vibrant and viable alternative to costly and often poorly maintained privately rented accommodation in Exeter.

We believe in a commitment to shared values, such as volunteering, self-governance, environmental and economic sustainability, and equal access to education and housing -- regardless of personal background.

What we are proposing is based on successful pre-existing student housing cooperatives in the UK (e.g. Sheffield University, Birmingham and Edinburgh). Exeter Student Housing Cooperative wants to create a community-owned scheme where students are free to join and leave as they progress through university. We believe that our cooperative will not only provide cheaper costs of living for students, but also increase links between the local community and students, whilst also promoting a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle.
