We are delighted that Five Rivers contains affordable social housing through Share Instead, a well-established Sheffield housing co-op.
Share Instead started as a housing co-op in Sheffield in 2012, and after 10 successful years in a big, Victorian terraced house, the co-op joined forces with Five Rivers Cohousing to enable the offer of some rented accommodation in new, eco-sensitive flats in Wisewood, S6.
Share Instead retains its autonomous cooperative structure within Five Rivers Cohousing, including its association with the Radical Routes network.
Rentals will be kept low enough to be covered by Housing Benefit if claimed. All members of Share Instead will of course be full members of the wider cohousing project with equal access to decision making, shared spaces and so on.
Anyone wanting to live in Share Instead at Five Rivers needs to become a member of the co-op and of Five Rivers.
