Phoenix Housing Co-operative, based in Hackney, has almost completed the renovation of a disused property in Bow, Tower Hamlets, to provide studio flats for some of its members.
Under the co-op’s housing plus project, the Spey Street property, which was left empty for over five years, has been converted into nine studio flats for single people on low-incomes. The six-month renovation process began after they signed the lease in July last year.
Phoenix are hoping to find other properties for similar projects and will be bidding for the HCA Empty Properties Fund to support this work.

Filed under Other News
To celebrate HACT’s Golden Jubilee, they are running a competition called Golden Projects – a chance to turn a golden idea into reality. They want to support project ideas from tenant, managers or frontline workers that will improve the wellbeing and living conditions of vulnerable people. The projects must be backed by a social housing provider.
10 entries will get the opportunity to become HACT’s pilot projects – with pump priming of £5K per project, expert support and widespread promotion. A larger award of initially £30K will be available for 2 to 3 of the pilot projects to really take off in 2011.
To participate, read the full information pack on http://hact.org.uk/golden-jubilee/golden-projects and send in your project proposal by 4 October 2010.
